Episode 1 - David Woods - Moving your young missionary family to the mission field, and surviving a break-in

Dustin Comm sits down with Maranatha's country director for Zambia and North America, who talks about his journey with Maranatha, including what it's like to move a young family to Africa, and the challenges of living in the mission field. He shares the projects he's been involved with through Maranatha in the past, as well as his current work in Zambia over the past several years. David also recounts a harrowing night break-in early on in his family's time serving in Africa, and how God answered their plea for help.Thanks for listening! Please subscribe and share!
