Tenfold is now a verb.

I'd like to announce that 'tenfold' is now a verb. Whenever I have to explain social enterprise I use the wonderful example of Kickstart. Their pump technology has helped subsistence farmers of Sub-Saharan Africa tenfold their income, going from making $110 a year to $1100 a year on average, basically moving them into the Sub-Saharan middle class. And now it's time to tenfold my bullet points on current life.
  1. I made Waldorf salad 3 times now, twice successfully, with help, though. =)
  2. Running a mini-multinational company is kinda fun. Nevermind that I spend my entire day in front of Gmail and Gtalk and Google Spreadsheets and Google Groups and Skype.
  3. Village is getting great coverage recently in two of my favorite sites: NextBillion.net and WorldChanging.org
  4. My brief visit to the 1570 this weekend for Mike and Angela's wedding made me miss Pasadena. I'm still amazed at the quality roommates, church, and friends I have there. *sniff *sniff *tender moment
  5. No wife yet. I'm so distracted with trying to change the world there's no time to go shopping.
  6. I got a Masaii tribe carving during my travels to Kenya for my cousin Tyler. He took it to school for show-and-tell. This is hilarious to me because no one realized it was actually a nicely carved knife with sheath. lol
  7. Fawlty Towers is painfully funny. British humor is so painful. John Cleese is great.
  8. My clothes are hanging in a closet in Palo Alto, CA. I've been living out of a suitcase since May 29th, 2005 so this is actually news.
  9. The Stanford crowd is really awesome. I'm enjoying making friends here. Hanging out with other people who want to change the world ain't too bad.
  10. I met Loren Cunningham the founder of YWAM two weeks ago at Stanford of all places, when he was giving a talk about Asians in missions. He's a cool guy.

Have You Made the Wonderful Discovery of the Spirit-Filled Life?

Have You Made the Wonderful Discovery of the Spirit-Filled Life? Here is an incredibly powerful step every Christian should take in their spiritual growth. I went on a retreat this year the weekend before Easter with my church to go through the process of taking inventory of my sin and repenting of it. My prayer life is stronger than ever now because there is no longer that wall of unrepented sin blocking Him from hearing me.

The YWAM VA Experience

Before Che Guevara hooked up with Fidel Castro to start the revolution in Cuba, he used his training in medicine as a ticket to travel all over Latin America offering help wherever he went and build relationships across the continent. I am finding out my ticket to travel the world and serve is computers. Serving YWAM VA as resident computer geek has been an awesome excuse to build relationships with YWAM missionaries, and learn more about what God is putting on people's hearts to do for His kingdom. Several ywamer's here ( Monica , Kay, and Mike) are answering the call to mend a very damaged relationship between Jews and Christians. After a couple millenia of organized Christianity committing atrocities against the Jewish people there is now a new flood of Jews discovering Jesus. Christians are finally treating Jews in a Christ-like manner and they are responding by embracing Jesus as their Messiah. The Jewish World Office Ywamers here are pretty excited to see the number of M...
