Pod #2 Twenty Years Experience

"We want to be a catalyst for church planting"In this interview, I talk to a man with over 20 years’ of experience in four different countries in the Middle East. I asked him about doing ministry as a couple, how the church in the ME has been shaped by the culture around it, and what are some helpful trends he sees in missions right now. We also talk about leading MMBs, being catalysts for organic growth, and the relationship between MBBs and CBBs.
