  • Wonderful podcast

    I really enjoy this podcast by Frontiers. I was introduced to it when I attended the Urbana 22 conference. This is a great post cast for those considering cross cultural work but also for all Christians. The great commission is an important command we have been given. Not all are called to go but all can pray, some can send, some can mobilize and others can go. Listen to this podcast and let these stories inform your prayer life, and hopefully stir you to act in some way to fulfill our Lord’s gr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 93 - Veiled and Voiceless in Iran
Q: How did you come to faith and begin sharing your story publicly?
A sequence of spiritual experiences—visions, a Canadian teacher introducing the Bible, discovery of Psalm 27, and later participation in a church community—led to baptism and a calling to leadership, including selling their businesses to fund ministry.
Ep. 98 - Watch out for Scorpions!
Q: What has daily life been like in the remote setting?
Life involves caring for a family, homeschooling, childcare, limited water and electricity, basic food options, and adapting to a unique hosting culture while learning the local language.
Ep. 98 - Watch out for Scorpions!
Q: How did you end up in the Eastern Sahara region for long-term work?
Encouragement from friends, conversations with Frontiers teams during a sabbatical, and a timely invitation led her to accept a placement with a family in the region, followed by a quick transition to the field.
Ep. 90 - Fulani Nomads - Faith Under Fire
Q: What made the mission in West Africa possible, and what was the team dynamic like?
He emphasizes the importance of joining a team, working in unity, and building a sustainable, indigenous church rather than creating dependency on outsiders.
