With our move into a global mission role with Langham Partnership International (LPI), I have been busy writing our first letter and trying to track down the friends we have gathered over the years.
[There may well be regular readers of this blog who would like to receive our letter … if so, drop me an email at paul.windsor@carey.ac.nz and I will add you to the list.]
But with the writing of this first letter – and the inclusion of some family news – I am conscious that we are a family of eight. We welcome Timothy Hart into our family as he and our daughter, Alyssa, prepare to be married later this year. They became engaged in September and then four days later he was off to Liberia, not returning until July. We are very proud of him! We’ve been drip-fed photos – none better than these two:
The first showing the joy of being with the children. The second showing the sadness of being in a troubled country wrecked by war.
You can read more and see more photos from Timothy on his blog:

About Me

the art of unpacking
After a childhood in India, a theological training in the USA and a pastoral ministry in Southland (New Zealand), I spent twenty years in theological education in New Zealand — first at Laidlaw College and then at Carey Baptist College, where I served as principal. In 2009 I began working with Langham Partnership and since 2013 I have been the Programme Director (Langham Preaching). Through it all I've cherished the experience of the 'gracious hand of God upon me' and I've relished the opportunity to 'unpack', or exegete, all that I encounter in my walk through life with Jesus.

Just when I thought that it could not be possible to have another first-hand account of the impact of John Stott’s life (d. 2011), along comes this book by his close friend, John Wyatt. I am always ready to learn more about John Stott, but also about friendship. It fascinates me. It keeps coming up…
Reading stories to grandchildren over Christmas reminded me again of how powerful they can be. They are so compact and simple in presentation, and yet so clever in construction. There are just so many features at work in an effective story. It is some years since I taught narrative preaching, but when I did I’d…
Apart from the eight years in which we were based overseas, Barby has been working at the Refugee Resettlement Center in Auckland since 2002. This year she is a ‘release teacher’, spending one day each week in three different classrooms, with three different age groups. Impressive—and demanding. One day is spent with 11-13 year olds—from…
Whoah! These photos are awesome!
I deduce that the person who took the first one is quite a bit cooler than the person who took the second one.
I could say so many clever things right now, but I’ll restrain myself out of respect for Mr. Windsor.
