Last night I did the milage on our travels, and it comes out that we have traveled over 100,000 miles over the last four years. Pretty amazing the things we’ve seen and witnessed. I’ve learned more about myself, my wife, the world, and God that I have ever learned before. Doing life with people of multiple different beliefs and cultures can be challenging, but also extremely rewarding. In those travels I’ve come to realize that there are two types of people whom I consider the wisest, and I’d like to share them with...

This week we are staying in a hotel room in a small town in Mississippi. A friend of ours was diagnosed with lung cancer, so we want to be here to help set an atmosphere of hope and faith in this rough time. But we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for two of our friends. My friend Jason and his wife Katie have been around for years. Jason and I were roommates in our early twenties and have ministered to everyone from troubled teens to homeless vets. He is really like a brother. When Darlene and I first heard of our friends earthly diagnosis we were not...

Listening to the mother wail was the second saddest thing we’ve ever witnessed. We had arrived at this slum thirty minutes before, but already the crowd was pressing us, trying to see the image on the laptop screen. “Is this okay?” I asked our national leader. “It’s getting pretty wild.” One of the first rules for missional travel is if a large crowd begins to get a little rowdy, it’s time to go. “It’s part of their grieving process,” he said. So, I agreed we could stay. I looked at my watch. Our flight was in three hours. The Heart of...

For me it happened on the banks of some nameless river in Laos. Darlene (my wife) and I had been making our way north overland, pushing towards one of the non-boldened dots on the map. In prayer, we had felt a strong sense in our hearts to press on, despite numerous obstacles and against advice that the dot we were shooting for could not be reached because the rainy season had wiped out the road. At first we thought they just assumed a couple of foreigners couldn’t hang, but we soon realized that they were telling the unexaggerated truth. There was no...

Two months ago we had the privilege to meet and spend some time with a missionary in Thailand, Freddy de los Reyes, from Chicago.we had the chance to sit down with Freddy and ask him a few questions about the mission, his experiences, and what advice he would give to up and coming missionaries. The answers we fun and illuminating, and we walked away with much to think on. I believe you will be blessed by this interview. Enjoy.

The first time that Darlene and I traveled the world we left with $600 in the bank. Fourteen months later we returned to the USA. Now we had worked overtime to raise support as a missionary, but we had nothing but promises. Most of our partners came through, but we also learned to travel on a shoestring budget. Most people think you need $5000 a month to travel the world. Well I'm here to tell you that you don't. Here are seven tips on how you can travel in South/Southeast Asia with very little money...

As many of you already know, I (Dustan) recently released my first book, a fantasy novel titled The Winter Letter. This is the novel I was working on as we trekked through Tibet, India, and Ghana. It is FINALLY out there and we are thrilled about the responses we’ve received concerning providing quality fiction with deep meaning to this generation. One church we recently spoke at actually bought copies for every person under 18 in attendance. It was awesome to sign those copies. We ran out that night. But don’t worry, more are ordered. This is...

For the rest of this year, we (Dustan and Darlene) and our team will be traversing numerous nations in our attempt to create the infrastructure needed to train and send thousands of laborers into the unreached world. So far in 2012 we’ve seen the start of our first Revolutionary Life Church in Hyderabad, India; a Revolutionary Life partnered feeding program begin feeding 50 kids every week; and the Gospel preached to many areas in South India. Our team and influence is growing through the TV program, while momentum is increasing. At this pace we...

HOW I LEARNED TO TRUST GOD by D.E. Stanley Part 1 | Part 2  | Part 3 Everyone must become who they will be, and we all have became who we are. Men and women are forged by the experiences, built by the trials, the relationships, words, and choices they make and are a part of. I (Dustan) can trace myself back to the trees I grew up in as a kid, to the music and books I have consumed, to the friendships I have. I know I come from these, that’s why these choices are so important. If we just do, say, read, love, and yoke up with anyone and anything...

Dear Revolutionaries, Will you please take a moment and say a prayer for us (Dustan and Darlene). We are leaving Southeast Asia for a short trip to the USA tomorrow. (Our brother and sister in law are having a baby). The is also a part of our preparation for our journey into West Africa. Our current plans are to be in America from Mid March to Mid/Late April. If you are interested in having us come and speak at your church during this time, please send us a message. God has done AMAZING things in India and SE Asia over the last 4 months. Our goal for the...

Revolutionary Life’s Hyderabad, India mission church has officially started meeting! This past Sunday, our Leader Isaac Sunny met with his team and began teaching and praying to lay the foundation for the church plant! We are dedicating six months to team building, prayer, and establishing the Word as our foundation before we start promoting public services! Praise God for what he is doing in Hyderabad. Below are a few...

Continuation…(Read “Testimonies From A Hindu Village Part #1“ for the first part of this story) So here I was with all these eyes looking at me in this little hut somewhere in a Hindu village in south India. I prayed silently for the Lord to help me. Lord what should I do? What do you want me to share with them about? Holy Spirit I need to know your leading. I didn’t want to just say any old thing. I wasn’t going to come this whole way again 3 years later and only share a Bible story when there were many Hindu children and...
