Ep 26: The Challenge of the Great Commission

It's not business as usual lately.  Christ-followers are taking on the challenge of the Great Commission. But hasn't that been the mission of the Church for 2,000 years?   Yes.  However, these days, there's a growing, different approach in the works.  Rather than the Western Church doing it on her own, she's partnering with the indigenous Church to reach the unreached for Jesus. Meet Steve Harling, the brand new President of Reach Beyond.  He has a passion to mobilize the Church to take Jesus to places that have never heard the name of our Savior.  Hear his passion and heart in this episode of the Reach Beyond Podcast. Outgoing President Wayne Pederson interviews Steve in Steve's first public appearance since he took the reins of the Reach Beyond presidency September 1.  Some leadership transitions can be messy.  You'll be encouraged hearing these two men together and sense the healthy transition at Reach Beyond. Steve is a long-time pastor, serving at churches in New York, California and Colorado. The son and grandson of missionaries and he also served as a missionary with SIM and as a pastor in Sudan. He has more than 25 years of mission board experience with SIM, Wycliffe Bible Translators, Global Refuge and Bethany Home. What exactly is Steve Harling's vision?  Hear it first-hand in this episode. Resources
