Mission in 5

by Greg Mamula

“Welcome to Mission in 5 the Podcast, where I ask five simple questions to ministry practitioners to learn more about who they are and where they see God moving in their community.” This is how each episode of MI5 begins. I am writing today to ask if you would be willing to be a guest on this podcast. I ask 5 questions and you answer them. It’s that simple.Here are our five questions:1. Who are you? (Tell us a little bit about yourself)2. How did you get here? (To your ministry setting)3. What is happening at (ministry context)?4. What is next? (What is next for the guest personally, professionally, or next for the ministry context)5. How can we partner in mission and ministry with you?
