My famous blog.
Yes, I have finally achieved fame. I can retire, content. I have a famous website.

No, not this website. Missionary-Blogs.com was mentioned in the October 2007 issue of Evangelical Missions Quarterly (EMQ). The article was An Introduction to Blogging on the Internet, by A. Scott Moreau (editor of EMQ) and Mike O’Rear (President of Global Mapping International).
Actually, it was only a passing reference under the heading of Finding a Blog, but I’ll take what I can get. 🙂
Missionary-Blogs.com is getting close to having 500 active missionary blogs. As far as I know, there’s nothing else quite like it on the internet. However, they actually mentioned the site’s blog, and didn’t say anything about the lists of blogs. I guess I need to make the lists a little more obvious!
But actually, that wasn’t the coolest thing about this article. At the very end, they mentioned a very few missions-related blogs (9, to be exact). In that list, they mentioned just three personal missionary blogs (plus one more that was mentioned in the text of the article). And the grand finale was – the blog of Shari’s sister, Amy – Under the African Rain! How cool! Here’s what they had to say about it:
This is the story of a young woman beginning her international missions career with SIM. As men who have been working in and around missions for decades, we enjoy the fresh perspective.
So, I have a very famous sister-in-law. And, after all, her blog is excellent! Congrats, Amy!

Jim,
You do a great job with your blog. It looks great and has great info. I didn’t know that you have a missionary list blog out there. Keep up the good work – Brian (I might have to copy your Orizaba pic since I never got a good one 🙂

Hey Brian – thanks!
Feel free to copy the photo – however, I do have some larger ones if you would prefer better quality. They’re not really great shots either – it looked better earlier in the morning, but I didn’t have my camera. 🙁

Dude you do amaze me. I am just a hack compared to this. If you want to add another blog to your collection http://www.nacysinmexico.com I am really just starting so there is a bunch more to do. I am taking much more time to try and learn iWeb, sometimes easy is equal to basic functionality/more work intensive.

Thanks for the reminder – you’re actually already in the list, but I hadn’t changed it since you moved from Blogger. You’re already listed correctly in the CAMex feed.
