EP. 95: Moving To Mound Bayou with Phil and Kym Schank

We would love to hear from you! Send us a text message.What happens when God calls you to stay where you first intended to visit? In this episode, Phil and Kym Schank share their journey from Wisconsin to Mound Bayou, Mississippi—a historic town founded by formerly enslaved people—and how a short volunteer trip turned into a long-term calling to live, serve, and build relationships in the community.Through honest reflections on leaving family, embracing a slower pace of life, and showing up as cultural outsiders, Phil and Kym reveal how presence, listening, and consistency are essential for real Christian reconciliation. Their story reminds us that sharing the gospel often begins with simply sharing life.Special thanks to our sponsors: Nissan, St. Dominic's Hospital, Atmos Energy, Regions Foundation, Mississippi College, Anderson United Methodist Church, Grace Temple Church, Mississippi State University, Real Christian Foundation, Brown Missionary Baptist Church, Christian Life Church, Ms. Doris Powell, Mr. Robert Ward, and Ms. Ann Winters.Support the show
