Welcome to our blog!

Yes, it's official. The Coles now have a blog and we're calling it "Cole Currents." We want to use this to keep you up to date on us, and let you know what is going on in our world.

As missionaries with HCJB Global, we deeply desire to make our lives of service to Christ. At present that means a commitment to partnership with our brothers and sisters around the world, helping them do ministry in their local context.

Thanks for checking out our blog. Let us know what you think.

Cole Courier Winter 2008


It’s always fascinating to me to see how people celebrate local holidays in different parts of the world. While in India this November, I happened to be there during the annual Duwali festival, which is the festival of lights. There are colorful lights everywhere, booming fireworks all night long, and it is really loud! This is also a time of gift giving and good will in Indian culture.
It was exciting for me to see the gifts that God has given our ministry in India as well. We have Indian staff near Delhi doing an outstanding job of partnering with groups around northern India. I even got to help dedicate a new radio production studio. Much of that work focuses on radio programs in different Indian languages, and also includes the installation of small radio studios in different parts of the country.
