BSP: When and how did you initially become connected with the people of Ethiopia? BeckyLynn: Very shortly after my birth 🙂 Before I was walking, my parents loaded me and some large metal barrels with our stuff onto a freighter in New York, bound for Yemen, and then from there to Ethiopia by airplane.

“Are you on vacation?” A million responses flew through my mind the first time I was asked while on a road trip for the Lord. The simple answer, “Why, yes. And what a great vacation it has been!” I never knew how important places were to God until the Holy Spirit started taking me to…

Eric Carpenter reviews Megabelt. He says: Overall, Megabelt has some good qualities. However, it is my opinion that the author missed his chance at writing a book that would have great impact on the church. I wish this book could be re-written with more grace, less sarcasm, and no crudity. If a revision was done…
In a letter to Megabelt author Nick May, posted on Megabelt.info, Anne Dalton suggests that the book might be used in a young adult class with an appropriate study guide. Would you use a work of fiction in a Sunday School class? Would you require that such a work be explicitly Christian? What ideas might…
