Simply Missional is brought to you by Global Disciples Canada, and hosted by Cat Pienaar, a church planter in North Vancouver. GDC is a non-profit that believe it’s the Jesus-followers who need to respond to the injustice that one third of our world (or 3 billion people) have never heard the good news of Jesus in a language or context that they can understand. For over 25 years Global Disciples has been training and equipping indigenous leaders and church planters to go and make disciples in least reach-communities worldwide. We believe ‘near culture’ people can do a far better job of reaching out to those in their nations, than by sending those from the West to do this for them.

With the same heart of championing ordinary, local people into a missional way of life, Simply Missional is a podcast that seeks to enable ordinary people to feel encouraged and equipped to do mission simply and locally. Jesus has already commissioned us to go and make disciples of all nations but often we feel scared or ill-equipped for the task. This podcast is for you if you want some practical ideas and inspiration to go and make disciples for Jesus where you are.

The interviews are really interesting conversations with some awesome men and women who have simply said a big fat yes to Jesus and His Great Commission to make disciples of all nations beginning here at home in Canada. We will be hearing stories of both success and failure for many people who have had the courage to walk by faith in what and how and where they feel God has called them. It will be encouraging, challenging, inspiring and funny as we chat about living a life for Jesus.

Each podcast will end with a suggestion of how to do mission simply, here, where you’re at and watching God multiply the itsy bitsy bread and fishes that we offer to Him. May it also be a clarion call to the injustice that one third of the world still need to hear the good news of Jesus.
