Interview with Joel A'Bell

“The gathering should be at the back end of our week. The gathering does not need to commission us for the week, we are already commissioned by God to go out into our communities. And then, we can gather back on Sunday and celebrate all God has done throughout the week” – Joel A’Bell This week, I have the pleasure of interviewing Joel A’Bell on the Re-Think It Podcast. Joel is the Oceania Regional Leader of Convoy of Hope Australia, a faith-based, non-profit organisation. Convoy of Hope helps empower others to live with greater independence and freedom from poverty, disease, and hunger. And most recently they have been supporting the Northern NSW Floods. You might remember, but I interviewed his wife, Julia in Season 1 of the podcast, have a listen here if you missed it! In today’s episode Joel shares his reflections on the last 2 years, how he would explain the ‘church’ without mentioning Sundays, his affiliations with significant people of faith and how he describes the new metrics of the church. It’s an absolute must-listen to!
