  • Compassion

    This past winter-I felt a growing calling to help with those who are homeless and struggling with drug addiction. This is personal to me-as my oldest daughter suffers from these issues. The calling was ever present, and consuming. For the first time-I was filled with compassion, concern, and the never presence that I should do something.

    I really enjoy this podcast. It is uplifting and encouraging to hear about the work that SP is doing and how our donations are being used. It’s a nice break from all the noise in life and also a good reminder to pray for this ministry. I am inspired in hearing about how God is still at work in this world!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Obedient to the Call
Q: How important is discipleship in the context of festival-driven evangelism?
Discipleship is essential from before a festival through long-term follow-up; it involves training pastors, preparing Bible studies, and integrating attendees into local churches to sustain growth beyond the event.
Obedient to the Call
Q: How has Viktor's background influenced his approach to ministry and kingdom-minded living?
His upbringing in the Soviet era, experiences in gulags, and transition to global crusades inform a theology of perseverance, reliance on the Holy Spirit, and a focus on discipling communities rather than just holding events.
Obedient to the Call
Q: What has the Lord called Viktor Hamm to do, and what is his ministry today?
Viktor describes a life shaped by calling—from his early experiences in underground churches and radio broadcasting to organizing large gospel festivals, training pastors, and fostering ongoing discipleship through local churches and volunteers.
Knowing Jesus is Freedom
Q: How does prayer shape the daily life of volunteers in such dangerous work?
Prayer is described as the foundation of all activity, sustaining volunteers through fear and danger, guiding decisions, and maintaining hope that God is at work even when outcomes are difficult to see.
Knowing Jesus is Freedom
Q: Will you just again explain how these women end up here and what helps them the most now?
Marina explains that many women are trafficked or coerced, often not choosing prostitution, and that ongoing, compassionate engagement, spiritual support, and practical help (like safe spaces and community) offer a path toward freedom and healing.
