Pastor and missionary in Costa Rica

I Have a New Web Site

I would like to let everyone know that from now on I will be using a different web site to communicate with everyone. I would also like to invite you all to visit the site and take a couple minutes to get aquainted with it. The menu at the top will give you a very quick and complete view of what I have out there.

Reasons for the Change

I think all of you know that my ministry here in Costa Rica is carried out in Spanish, and therefore I have maintained a separate web site dedicated to our Spanish ministry. I used this site (greg-and-sue.com) to basically keep folks at home informed about the ministry.

This year I am planning on teaching a little bit in English and that has presented a unique opportunity to go ahead and combine the two web sites into one. You’ll see on the new site that there is a fairly large section dedicated to the materials and teaching we have available in Spanish. The English section is what I plan on building a bit this year. There is also a News section that I’ll use to keep everyone up-to-date on ministry events and such. The Blog section is basically just an “informational dumping ground” for me.

So, the new site is an attempt to combine all my communication needs into one site (that way I only have to maintain the one, rather than two or three or four).

Subscribing to the New Site

Many of you receive daily notices of new articles that I post on this web site. You can still do that on the new site, and actually I hope you will so that we can keep in contact. When you visit the home page of the new site, you’ll see about midway down, in the sidebar on the right, a number of links to “RSS Feeds” and “E-Mail Subscriptions.” Since I have almost 500 people who subscribe to my Spanish web site, I set up a separate feed for only Spanish articles (that way they can continue to get the same information through the new site that they are getting now through the Spanish site). For everyone else, I have a normal site feed that will give you updates of all articles posted.

If that just confused you… :-) …here is the link to subscribe via e-mail and continue to receive a quick note when something new is posted:

Subscribe to the new site via e-mail

I do want to give one small “word of warning”: There will be a bit more activity on the new site. The only option I have right now for e-mail notifications is a daily e-mail. If getting an e-mail notification several times a week is going to bother you, please consider subscribing via RSS using a feed reader, or simply check in every now and then to see if there are new articles on the web site.

Comments on Articles

Another way I hope to keep in contact with all of you is through the “comments” section at the bottom of each article on the new site. That will be a great way to have quick “conversations” about the topic of the article in question.

I’m Still Working on It

The new web site presents a lot of new options for communication (lots of bells and whistles), so that means that I’ll be “tweaking it” for a little while to get it to run like I want it to. For most part, this site and our Spanish site are now duplicated on the new one (so the standard communication we have now will continue). The stuff I’ll be working on in the days to come will be new things to add a little benefit here and there.

Thank you all very much for your continued friendship, prayer, and support!
