Just One: How to Love Long-Term Across the World, with Ann Hinrichs – EM258

Learning to love others long-term is a big part of missions and ministry. Sometimes that love can be easier said than done. In this week’s episode, Ann Hinrichs joins us again to talk about her new book, Just One, which is about her long friendship with a man in Belize. Through their friendship, Ann learned more about intercultural ministry and her friend came to know Jesus.Ann also shares the importance of depending on God. Focusing on obedience is better than looking for results. Throughout the episode, she reminds us of God’s guidance and steadfast love. We look more like Him when we are willing to love another person for as long as the Lord leads.Check out Our Sponsor: http://megavoice.com/engagingmissionsAnn's Book (affiliate): https://amzn.to/2Vjve5MWhat We Talked About00:23 - Episode summary02:21 - Why did you write your book?05:11 - Spending time in uncomfortable places06:00 - From the inside-out struggle08:03 - Creating a context for the story11:19 - How has God worked perseverance in you?12:42 - Choosing what to include in the book16:10 - Letting go of cultural bents17:39 - The impact of the first trip21:33 - One piece in a great puzzle23:11 - Remaining dependent on the Lord26:03 - When the Lord redirects ideas27:28 - How would you encourage others to move forward?30:10 - Additional resources for short-term teams31:22 - How can we best pray for you?32:32 - Closing thoughtsResources & Contact InfoJust One: A True Story of Unlikely Friendship and Short-Term MissionsAnn's Website with Discussion Tools and ResourcesShow LinksFacebook: @engagingmissionsMessenger: @engagingmissionsTwitter: @engagingmissionLeave a VoicemailBecome a PatronListen for FreeDisclosure of Material Connection: Some of the links in the post above are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission.
