059: Close To Home: How Small Churches Can Make An Impact In Diaspora Missions | Special Guest Tim Rickel

Diaspora (from the word “dispersed”) refers to people living outside their home country. This term holds true for more people today than at any other time in history. From big to small, many cities worldwide are becoming international centers. Whether relocation is forced (war, famine, natural disaster, political persecution, etc.) or voluntary (education, economics, career opportunity, etc.), leaving a homeland comes with incredible stress, difficult adjustment, and unanticipated needs. Walking through our communities raises the question: Has the mission field come to us? Listen in to a conversation with Tim Rickel, Lead Diaspora Project Director for World Gospel Mission, and hear about the opportunity small churches have for a cross-cultural ministry without ever leaving home.Connect with Tim Rickel at World Gospel Missionhttps://www.wgm.orgRESOURCES MENTIONEDGet your FREE ticket to the Women Reaching Women Conference! smallchurchsummits.comSupport the showSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
