Strider
 I am passionate about reaching the unreached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ (no, that does not imply that I think you aren’t). I am married with four children. I was appointed by the IMB in August of 1995 and have lived in what I call Middle Earth ever since. I live in a Muslim country which is why I use the pseudonym Strider. I am actually not as tall or kingly as Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings character. If you read my blog or much of what I say here it wont take you long to guess what country I am in. Please keep that to yourself as I don’t use the Strider name to protect me as much as the nationals I work with. You can catch up with all my stories at talesfrommiddleearth.blogspot.com. |
