Episode 83 - A Brief History of the EFCA

Happy Reformation Day! October 31, 1517 was a pivotal day in church history, when German monk Martin Luther publicly launched a movement to rediscover the Word of God and salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. Just as it’s important to know our Bibles and redemptive history, it’s also important to know the history of our local churches and even entire denominations. Our special guest this episode is Dr. Tom Cairns, retired missionary and the archivist for the EFCA National Office in Bloomington, MN. Paul Arneberg and Pastor Brent Kompelien ask Tom about his personal testimony, his calling as a medical missionary, and his passion for remembering and celebrating the wonders God has done at the local and national levels.
