Updates about ROOMinistries
Dear brothers and sisters, This season on the road has been full of unexpected turns, hard providences, timely provision, and many reminders of the Lord’s care. I set out to visit churches, supporters, friends, and Bible study attendees, hoping to share more about ROOM’s work and encourage the people God has placed in front of…
Dear brothers and sisters, I wanted to share some encouragement this week about what has been happening since I arrived in the States, and the growth we’ve seen abundantly in so many places. I’ve been grateful for the opportunity to meet many of you in person, along with my core group from the field. The work…
Dear brothers and sisters, There are multiple updates to bring you this week, and I want to reflect on God’s grace and kindness as He has bestowed it upon us in many ways—through knowledge and learning, and in keeping us from knowledge we are not yet ready for. There are so many wonders in this…
Dear brothers and sisters, Not long ago, while sharing about the work in VRChat, someone asked a simple question:“Why do they have animal ears?”At the time, I gave a surface-level answer about it being part of the culture. But the more time I have spent there, the more I have come to understand that the…
Dear Brothers and Sisters, In recent newsletters I have shared some heavy and technical things. I know that can become tiring over time, and I feel that same weariness myself.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, ROOM exists for a clear and compelling purpose: to bring the gospel to the overlooked and unreached online, to disciple them in sound doctrine, and to establish them in faithful local churches for the glory of God. From the beginning, the vision was never to remain a lone missionary effort. The…
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I wanted to give a quick rundown about YouTube and why I’m on it at all. Before we get started, I want to say this clearly: I’m grateful that people want to support by watching. However, there’s something many don’t realize. If someone clicks a video, watches only a short…
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I want to talk about witnessing to those who identify as transgender. In VRChat, nearly a fourth of the people I interact with would call themselves trans. That makes this an important subject. If anyone has a heart to reach these people, this is the first mission field I would…
Dear brothers and sisters, Today I want to share the final sphere of work we do at ROOM: planting people in churches. Evangelism, Discipleship, and now Service. What is clear is this: ROOM makes much of the Church and its necessity in the Christian life. We exist to place people into churches, not to replace the Church….
This week I wanted to share a glimpse into the kind of care that often happens quietly, behind the scenes. I did not receive the joy of discipleship immediately after coming to faith. I came to faith at a time when I was most alone. I dove into the Scriptures and sought out the knowledge…
