We’re glad you’ve come to this space.
We—David and Karen— are rather ordinary followers of Jesus. If you’re extraordinary or do not yet see any reason to follow Jesus, you’re still welcome here.
This blog is one of the main places where we share our lives with people we love who live far from us. We wish they could all live close. Fat chance. They ain’t movin’. And our lives take us to faraway places like Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and … well .. Connecticut. So stuff that happens often has to happen here.
Now about that faraway part: We can’t help ourselves. Our Maker has placed on our shoulders the delightful burden of loving emerging Christian leaders and their families. And of crossing cultural, language, and national borders in order to do this. The family that makes it all work is called the United World Mission. But even that family would be useless if it weren’t for a tribe of people—you may be one of them—who for some reason have found their lives linked with the Baers’ lives. A whole bunch of these people give of their love, their time, their prayers, their money, and their patience in order to stand with us as we do the thing we do. Frankly, they’re amazing.
It’s all a little mysterious. And beautiful. And usually ordinary. But not always.
This space is for talking it over. Again, you’re welcome here. Thanks for stopping by.
Baerly There ...
