If You Would Be So Kind: My Assimilation into South Asian Culture
In October 2013, God led my family and me from our missionary journey in Lucknow, India, to a new ministry in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
Like the old Hymn says: “Wherever He leads I’ll go.”
This book is about that journey, and some of the relationships, struggles, and blessings I received along the way. And it is about life, the wonderful people of Bangladesh, and some of the things missionaries may encounter while serving.
This book is about us.
Whether you are about to go overseas, are praying for another missionary, or if you are simply seeking guidance, this book is about God’s love and finding salvation through Jesus Christ.
Missionary work is not easy. May God bless you as you seek to follow him, share His word, and encourage others who are serving Him.
Chai, Curry, and Indian Culture
Penned under the pseudonym of George Dalling, this book is about my life as a missionary in India. The book focuses on what I did, what I wished I had done, what God did, and the experience of living in a foreign culture.
Inside you'll find...
-
the journey of how God has worked in my life.
-
a "how-to" for people who want to thrive while living overseas.
-
the triumphs and pitfalls of ministry in a foreign culture.
-
deep and personal observations from the second term of international missions (often considered the most difficult time of everyone’s overseas career).

Sharing Jesus with Muslims
The Muslim population in the United States is growing quickly, and there are no signs of this growth slowing down. So how should Christians respond? With fear? With tolerance? By ignoring Muslims? Or with boldness, hope, and the Good News of Jesus Christ, clearly the biblical answer.
For centuries the church did not reach Muslims with the gospel because Christians thought it was too dangerous or too difficult. Now God is bringing Muslims to America where Christians can lead them to Christ. But when I share this opportunity with churches around the country, I'm asked, “How can my church make the connections?” This book seeks to answer that question and more.
Presenting the Kingdom Kingdom of God
Teaching Course
The course contains many separate teaching topics, which are divided into four segments. Each teaching includes a video, notes, and discussion questions. In addition, the segment notes include helpful stories, Bible verse lists, and charts. I want the participants to engage Muslims with the Gospel message in word and deed. This course provides the tools and motivation one needs to fulfill this goal. The course can be completed in a group or individually and is an invaluable resource for many years. This course also comes with a special offer of formula coaching. Formula Coaching is an ongoing conversation where your Muslim ministry is the focus of our discussions.
