As we do our Table Talks each week we are so honored that God has given us so many friends from college days to life overseas who check in with us on Sunday mornings. If any of you ever explore the beauty of America's northern plains please feel free to stop by and visit

while a UK gap year student in an African orphanage is. It's painful to admit, but the "heathen" are no longer in Africa, but in the West. 2/2

These are some of the most quoted paragraphs of Professor Harvey Kwiyani's "Decolonizing Mission." Yego - It just doesn't make good theological and missiological sense to exclude Ugandan Christian nurses or Nigerian pastors in the West from being called a missionary 1/2

The photos are from their X / Twitter account. Please take the time to stay informed, pray, and advocate for the Banyamulenge. If some live near you please someday visit their churches, dance with them, share a meal, and go watch their youth succeed in academics, art, and athleticism. 4/4

This week their national organization Mahoro Peace has asked for friends of theirs to raise awareness. They believe a slow genocide is taking place. In a short time all my Senators & Congresswoman will get a letter from me. 3/4

In North Dakota we have a Banyamulenge Community Organization and 3 local churches made up of Banyamulenge people. For those that don't know, the Banyamulenge people are citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo who share history, language, and culture with Rwanda. 1/4

This evening I will be preaching at Mission Evangelical Free Church in Wilton, North Dakota for the Wilton Ministerial's Thanksgiving Worship. This Sunday, I will begin Advent at church. Last night, God in His mercy brought a snowstorm to usher us into this wonderful season

I don't ever remember seeing such a strongly worded press release from World Relief Yet, I think it is appropriate. As we go into Advent these matters seem particularly appropriate to consider worldrelief.org/pr-world-rel...

It would be enjoyable to have some venison steaks. I’ve had shots I could make with a bow this fall. Yet, I just enjoyed watching does. My bad foot struggles to stay warm in the cold. Yesterday, may have been my last day this fall. Here’s last evening’s sunset just before I came down from my stand

I have 3 gift subscriptions to give away to Professor Harvey Kwiyani’s, “Global Witness, Globally Reimagined” Substack. He’s the most helpful voice I have found to think through Diaspora Missions in Western Europe and North America. Who would like a free one month subscription?

This Sunday I will be in Luke 19 looking at the story of Zacchaeus. This Jesus Mafa art causes me to ponder just how Zacchaeus was despised and rejected by the crowd in Jericho. I have to look for him in picture while Jesus quickly see him

In our Killdeer Mountain Table Talk this week the Lectionary took us to 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17 which is so relevant both to those whose end times theology promotes fear and to believers who in persecuted situations. Our Table Talks are on Substack as well as YouTube

For many years I assumed any person of faith could get to church on Sunday. Over the last years I have concluded there R a variety of good reasons that believers R unable to make it to a local church ranging from work schedule, disability, illness, and persecution open.substack.com/pub/davejenk...

This is today’s ordinary winter sunrise from the Wilton Free Church parsonage. In North Dakota the ordinary is magnificent! I’m so thankful to be here, and feel merciful to those who don’t have such stunning snow to reflect morning light

We read the Lectionary each week for our Table Talk. I am surprised each week the relevancy of the texts to our context. This week one reading discussed the nations giving glory to God. That's the reason we started these table talks open.substack.com/pub/davejenk...

Last Sunday, the texts discussed poverty. They push against Christo-paganism that concludes being on SNAP is a moral failing. In fact, the texts lead me to believe an economy that treats the poor with contempt has moral failings open.substack.com/pub/davejenk...

The Lectionary Texts for this past Sunday's Killdeer Mountain Table Talk took us to the practicality of the Bible teaching on being merciful to the poor. The economic research also tells us not see poverty as a moral failing open.substack.com/pub/davejenk...

This morning the dogs and I walked uphill about half a mile to the local meat market. We picked up 3 young organic turkeys 🦃. Carrying them the half mile home substituted for doing farmers walk exercise in the gym. We’re eager for our kids to visit and have turkey fajitas over the holidays

Thank you all who have sent encouragement and prayed this week for my sermon on Six Woes Jesus spoke in Luke 11:37 - 12:3! As I finished my sermon preparation this evening and came home to cook dinner the gentle fall rain brought this double rainbow with late fall colors and a sunset. I am hopeful!

This coming Sunday will be a tough one to preach. We’re in Luke 11:37-12:3 where Jesus proclaims 6 woes upon the Pharisees and Religious Scholars. My therapy animals thought I needed to know the Creator’s love as we reach this text so relevant and painful to American churches
