McLean Hawthorne: Missionary to South Asia

A Lifetime of Obedience: The Ministry of Teaching In this episode, Pastor Jack King welcomes his former college roommate, McLean Hawthorne, a missionary who has served in South Asia for over 40 years. McLean recounts his unique journey into ministry, highlighting how God’s sovereign hand guided him from a lost, confused college student to a passionate teacher of the Gospel. Listen in as McLean shares: -- How a childhood memory of a map of South Asia resurfaced as a confirmation of his calling. -- The story of how a friend's simple advice to "read the Gospel of John" led to his salvation and a complete transformation of his life. -- The miraculous way God connected him to his wife, Tammy, even while he was on the mission field. -- His primary ministry focus, inspired by the Great Commission, of teaching believers to obey Jesus's commands. -- How technology, like Zoom and Teams, has allowed him to continue teaching in Bible colleges in countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Albania. -- His philosophy of ministry, which he describes as a ripple effect, training reliable people who will, in turn, teach others, fulfilling God's strategy for multiplying the Gospel.
