Isn't it just like God to use something seemingly small, like shrimp, to make a MASSIVE impact in the Kingdom? It might seem like Jeremy Wainwright just suddenly decided to make a change, but really, God was working in his heart long before his friend said, "Would you like to go to Honduras?" It didn't take him long to decide that this was the opportunity God was giving him and that trip changed EVERYTHING. Now Jeremy has started Shrimp Matters and is actively working with partners in the United States as well as Honduras to bring sustainable shrimp farming to communities. His work, despite the challenges of COVID-19, is making a difference, and he believes that God has more! It was exciting to talk with Jeremy and I believe you'll be as encouraged as I was.

The call of Jesus is always more radical than we would like to think. One of His calls throughout the Gospels is to take care of the poor. Keith Giles felt God leading him to serve those in need by starting a house church that gave 100 percent of its offerings to them. For 11 years, Keith has been working in house churches. On this episode, Keith shares about the beauty and chaos that comes with house churches. He also talks about realizing full-time ministry can happen in motels and grocery stores, not just church buildings. During the show, he gives many stories of God’s work with those in need. Keith reminds us that Jesus has called us to love our neighbor, especially the poor.

You know the Bible is critical for discipleship. But what do you do for those who can't read? Darrell Templeton of http://megavoice.com/engagingmissions (Megavoice) shares how they make the Bible available for illiterate cultures worldwide. - Check our our sponsor: https://engagingmissions.com/lovetrip (Love Never Fails International) Pray today about whether you should be part of their upcoming missions trip to India. Darrel Templeton of MegavoiceFor the past few months, Megavoice has been supporting Engaging Missions. Now we get to hear from Darrel Templeton about his work with Megavoice. Having worked with radio and mass communication, Darrel is passionate about making the Bible accessible to people through audio. By recording the Bible in different languages, Megavoice can bring the Gospel to people all over the world. Recently, Megavoice has been working on a video Bible for the deaf community in different sign languages. They also have over 43 languages lined up to record soon. In the episode, Darrel shares about the need for hearing the Scriptures in order to understand them better. When they actually hear the Bible in their mother tongue, or heart language, it doesn’t have to go through the brain. It goes straight to their heart, straight to their spirit, and they can understand that in a deeper way.

Many people think they are Christian but have never heard the Gospel. Dean Inserra joins the show to talk about “cultural Christianity” and how to reach these people with Jesus. In his new book, The Unsaved Christian, he talks about different forms of unsaved Christianity. These people are not just “baby Christians,” but of a separate religion all together. We have to make sure that we’re not advocating for a morality. We’re advocating for a worship, really, for a following of Christ. They’re two very different things.Dean InserraDean's Book: https://amzn.to/2O74jvW (https://amzn.to/2O74jvW) What We Talked About00:24 - Episode overview 01:21 - http://megavoicecom/engagingmissions (Megavoice Audio Bibles) 02:29 - About the guest 02:45 - What is your book about? 03:43 - Centering the Gospel on Jesus 05:13 - How to bridge the gap of cultural Christianity 07:52 - Walking in the tension 10:28 - Becoming aware of the gap 12:11 - How can we make the Gospel clear? 14:43 - Different forms of unsaved Christians 19:22 - The problems of church membership 21:16 - Approaching traditions to reach the lost 23:50 - How can we engage in God’s work? 26:35 - Avoiding the witch hunt 27:57 - Final thoughts 29:09 - How can we best pray for you? 29:57 - Closing thoughts Resources & Contact InfoDean’s Website: http://deaninserra.com/ (http://deaninserra.com/) Dean’s Book: https://amzn.to/2O74jvW (https://amzn.to/2O74jvW) Show LinksFacebook: https://facebook.com/engagingmissions (@engagingmissions) Messenger: https://m.me/engagingmissions (@engagingmissions) Twitter: https://twitter.com/engagingmission (@engagingmission) https://engagingmissions.com/voicemail (Leave a Voicemail) https://engagingmissions.com/patron (Become a Patron) https://engagingmissions.com/quicksubscribe (Listen for Free) Disclosure 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.

When looking at history, it seems like church movements have a cycle of rising and falling. Steve Addison joins the show to talk about his new book called The Rise and Fall of Movements and how God works in that cycle. He speaks on how believers who value the Great Commission can keep their eyes on Jesus, His word, Spirit, and mission. As some ministries reach a place of decline, we can remember that God is always raising up new movements. He keeps working to draw us back to Him. The important thing is for us to seek God and walk in obedience to Him.

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.

Obeying Jesus’ commands is important if you want to be His disciple. One of those is to go into all the world and share the Good News. Bevin Ginder joins the show to talk about mobilization and its role in the Great Commission. For him, whenever he is working with other believers, he is discipling.

It's easier to tell the "hero" stories of missions and forget the struggles. But the real story is that God meets us where we are. Listen for an honest, transparent discussion about ministry, struggles, and healing. Ryan's Book: https://amzn.to/2OoISlE (https://amzn.to/2OoISlE) Within Christian ministry, specifically missions, it can be easy to only tell positive stories. Sometimes, though, it’s important to talk about the difficult times. Ryan Kuja joins the show to discuss his own experience with missions and what he has learned about strengths and weaknesses of ministry. Having lived in over fifteen cities across five continents, Ryan has seen how Western mindsets impact models of mission work. He proposes a model called “constellational thinking,” which looks at the different parts of poverty, not just the surface.

Sometimes Christians are held back because of fear. If that's you, then this is for you. Listen as Jacob (pen name) shares what can happen when we step out in faith in spite of fear. Tweet Me: http://engagingmissions.com/tweetme (@engagingmission) There are many people in the world who are lost and have never heard of Jesus. Asia has some of the largest unreached people groups and Jacob, our guest, plans to minister there. Growing up, Jacob had a plan to do youth ministry for a long time, but God had other plans. He and his wife are now preparing for their long term mission work in Asia. As he shares his plans for missions, Jacob talks about the importance of boldness.

There's more than one way to approach a church service. Discover what happens when we make space for open sharing. How God leads and also protects His people - and what's coming next for Steve Simms and his church. Steve's Book: http://amzn.to/2zaAvmZ (http://amzn.to/2zaAvmZ) The thought of allowing church members to share during a service is a new idea for most people. In Western church services, it’s usually worship, a sermon, and an altar call, with no time for people to speak. Today, Steve Simms comes to share about this unique format of “open sharing” and how he has used it for the last 9 years. For nearly a decade, Steve and his wife led this kind of church in Nashville through Salvation Army. He has seen the Holy Spirit move and work through this ministry. Every week, he relies on the Lord to speak through the people who walk through their doors. 00:24 - Episode summary 01:13 - Introduction 03:02 - Rearranging church structure 04:22 - The benefits of open sharing 06:05 - Various stages of church experiences 07:53 - Sharing as an act of worship 09:55 - The challenges of ministry 12:27 - Learning from others about who God is 14:36 - What has God been teaching you recently? 16:28 - Conversations with God 18:24 - What is the “lost word” in Scripture? 20:47 - Understanding the meaning of the word 21:52 - The implications of seeing church rightly 23:15 - How do we live a life on mission? 26:17 - Looking for the assembly 28:11 - Training and leadership in the church 31:18 - What strengthens you in hard times? 32:48 - How clear is the path before you? 34:50 - Where can people buy your book? 36:46 - How can we best pray for you? 38:54 - Closing remarks 39:54 - Prayer requests Episode LinksSteve's Email (https://engagingmissions.com/217 (show notes page)) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/steve.simms2%20 (@Steve.Simms2) Twitter: https://twitter.com/CSteveSimms (@CSteveSimms) Website: https://stevesimms.wordpress.com/%20 (https://stevesimms.wordpress.com/) Steve's Book: http://amzn.to/2zaAvmZ (http://amzn.to/2zaAvmZ) Show LinksFacebook: https://facebook.com/engagingmissions (@EngagingMissions) Messenger: https://m.me/engagingmissions (@EngagingMissions) Twitter: https://twitter.com/engagingmission (@EngagingMission) https://www.speakpipe.com/engagingmissions (Leave a Voicemail) https://www.patreon.com/engagingmissions (Become a Patron) http://directory.libsyn.com/subscribe (Subscribe to the Show) Disclosure 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.

Want to be effective in ministering through life and ministry? Joel Oechsle is no stranger to that challenge. Listen and discover how the T.I.L.T. framework might help YOU grow in faith and share your love for Jesus. https://www.facebook.com/engagingmissions/posts/1439048346176912 (Where are You Listening From?)
Living like Jesus can be hard, but it’s always rewarding. Joel Oechsle joins us to talk about four ways that he tries to be like Christ. These four things are truth, integrity, love, and transparency. In the show, he talks about how God taught him these lessons over the years. From those lessons, God has led him to start an apparel company based on these four ideas. His goal is to spark conversations with people and show Jesus through that. These concepts are more than t-shirt logos; they are meant to be a way of life. From working in construction, to spending time with his family, to working on TILT, Joel hopes to live these ideas out and walk in obedience to where God is leading him (and I think he’s doing a great job of that!). 00:24 - Episode summary 01:51 - Introduction 02:16 - Finding faith in the marketplace 04:03 - Showing Jesus by showing love 05:51 - The value of truth, integrity, love, and transparency 10:52 - How to walk in integrity 16:21 - Becoming a part of who you are 17:14 - The difficult chapter 21:03 - Understanding God a little more 24:53 - Learning the meaning of transparency 31:31 - What has God been showing you? 35:00 - What is TILT Unlimited? 40:00 - Walking in two different worlds 43:54 - How can we connect with you? 44:27 - Looking for the next step 44:44 - How can we best pray for you? 49:22 - Recommendations and closing thoughts Episode Links https://tiltunlimited.com (Tilt Unlimited) http://globalmissionspodcast.com/ (Global Missions Podcast) http://missionalaudio.com (MissionalAudio) Additional Links Facebook: https://facebook.com/engagingmissions (@EngagingMissions) Messenger: https://m.me/engagingmissions (@EngagingMissions) Twitter: https://twitter.com/engagingmission (@EngagingMission) https://www.speakpipe.com/engagingmissions (Leave a Voicemail) https://www.patreon.com/engagingmissions (Become a Patron) Subscribe to the Show

Today, Karl Meisterheim joins us to put the “fun” back in fundraising. He created a program called “Support Goal,” which helps missionaries keep up with fundraising. This program is great at keeping information organized and encouraging missionaries to stay connected. During the podcast, Karl talks about why he started the program. He also explains how SupportGoal works and who it works best for. His greatest goal is to see missionaries get the support they need to keep doing what God has called them to do. With this program, less time has to be spent organizing. This gives missionaries more time to minister and connect with supporters. 00:24 - Episode summary 02:38 - Introduction 03:05 - What do you do in ministry? 04:12 - The positive impact of organized fundraising 05:21 - Ways to fully approach fundraising 06:54 - Experiencing a deeper realization 07:35 - What led you to create SupportGoal? 09:01 - Finding a way to serve missionaries 10:06 - How does lack of support affect missionaries? 11:14 - The benefits of direct feedback 12:51 - What is SupportGoal? 13:51 - How to navigate SupportGoal 15:21 - What kinds of ministries would benefit from SupportGoal? 17:09 - Learning to not be everything 18:21 - How SupportGoal connects with other programs 19:05 - Can the program help with finances? 20:21 - Ways to approach confrontational conversations 22:14 - How much work goes into maintaining the system? 25:16 - Saving time for missionaries 26:26 - Having a flexible schedule 27:19 - Balance between work and life 28:32 - Resources for fundraising 30:30 - Who are key connections? 31:49 - Ways to connect 32:42 - Who is SupportGoal best for? 33:12 - How can we best pray for you? 34:11 - Recommendations and requests Episode Resources & Links http://SupportGoal.com (SupportGoal.com) Email: karl@supportgoal.com http://forum.supportgoal.com/ (Fundraising Forum) http://supportraisingsolutions.com (Support Raising Solutions) http://amzn.to/2ywc5H5 (Coach Your Champions) by Eric Foley http://amzn.to/2fYpjV5 (The God Ask by Steve) Shadrach Additional Resources & Links https://www.facebook.com/engagingmissions/posts/1439048346176912 ( Where are you listening from?)

How does our cultural view shape our actions? As Ramon Pastrano IV shares, it's important to have a full, multicultural perspective that honors people to avoid devaluing people or creating more problems than we fix. Resources / Contact: http://www.impactlives.org (impactlives.org) ramon@impactlives.org Additional Resources http://MissionalAudio.com (MissionalAudio.com) https://www.speakpipe.com/EngagingMissions (Voicemail) https://engagingmissions.com/feedbackflurry (Feedback) When going into ministry, understanding leadership is very important. Ramon Pastrano joins us to talk about leadership training and how it helps people in different cultures. Over the years, he has worked with different groups in how to see the world through another culture’s eyes. He also helps people find their own strengths and ways to lead others well. Ramon cares a lot about reflecting Jesus in everything he does. He takes many examples from Jesus’ life in how to lead others. In the U.S., he currently prays that groups will be open to working with others that are different than them. He reminds us that Jesus is the answer to problems today, just as He always has been.

Sometimes, ministry can be messy. People are imperfect, and sometimes a congregation or a group one is serving can cause pain for their leaders or pastors. Our guest, Kevin Moore, joins us to tell about his time of hurt in the church and how God has used that to help other pastors now.

Growing up, sometimes we have misunderstandings about God. For Kathie Slusser, hers was that it wasn’t important to feel that God loved her. As she went through life, she learned that this idea wasn’t true. Knowing God’s love for her was the first step in learning to love others. Kathie has worked in many ways, from teaching, to helping a private investigator, to serving in ministry. She now counsels those in ministry and makes curriculums on spiritual and emotional health. As she has learned to accept God’s love, she has been able to love others in a deeper way. Through love, she can bring hope to those who need it.

In the Bay area of San Francisco, nearly 93 percent of the population have no relationship with Christ. Such statistics might seem extremely disheartening or overwhelming. But our guest, Brett Butler shares on how God has given him a call to reach this group. In the next five years, he's asking God to start 500 new churches – one for each zip code in the area.

There are important things to remember when working in ministry. Like that it is the Holy Spirit who draws people in, not good YouTube videos. Matthew Hess shares about the value of humility in church planting (and everyday life). He is currently working to plant twelve churches in Toronto through The Fellowships Church Planting Network in the coming years. Matt grew up in Oklahoma, and while pastoring in Northwest Mississippi, felt the Lord calling him to reach those who had never heard the Gospel. God gave him three criteria: It had to be an unchurched community, very diverse, and a big area. With that list, and a desire to remain humble and teachable, he has been able to abide in the Lord while sharing the Good News across Toronto.

Transforming an entire ministry can take a lot of work, and our guest, Mike (or “Puck” for short) experienced this first hand. As a ministry leader on a college campus, he realized the need to change the organization from a typical ministry to a “band of missionaries.” The focus shifted from having services for Christian students to sharing the Gospel with those who don’t know Christ. Through the difficult changes and adjustments, Puck has seen God work in many ways. Not only has this transition impacted the students on campus, but also Puck himself. In the interview, he shares about his spiritual growth through this process. Because of his and the students’ obedience, more people have had the opportunity to hear about the goodness of God and His Gospel of hope.

Many approach missions and aid work from the foundation of charity. Gena Thomas shares how the foundation of justice is better. Listen for practical tips and powerful concepts to make your next missions trip better. Subscribe to the Show: https://engagingmissions.com/subscribe (https://engagingmissions.com/subscribe) Learning to seek justice for a community can be extremely messy, but also beautiful and balanced. Gena Thomas joins us to talk about pursuing right relationships with short-term missions and missions in general. The topics throughout the episode come primarily from her new book, http://amzn.to/2ddm9dT (A Smoldering Wick), which focuses on charity versus justice within the missions world. Her ideas and thoughts bring to light the issues that come from simply giving handouts to the poor. We tend to see ourselves as having more than them, which makes the relationship imbalanced. A just and righteous form of missions, however, brings about “right relationships.” Gena clearly presents how we as believers can seek such justice and why it is so crucial to the Gospel of Christ.

It’s amazing how God leads us when we follow Him. Our guest this week was happily working a career at J.C. Penney. He’d grown up in Church, left, and returned because of his wife. He’d begun to learn who God was and how much God loved him. But he’d never considered missions work. Until a pastor friend started talking about Haiti. Now, fast forward a few years and James Human (pen name) has been to Brazil, Niger during Ramadan, the last tea house on the way to Mount Everest, India, and Malaysia. Sharing the Gospel along the way. He’s an expert on Sikhs and as we talked in Part 1 of his story, James shared how he shifted from Oak Ridge, Tennessee to world traveler, how he was able to share the Gospel with Muslims during Ramadan, and much more.

Our guest today is Clint Harrill. He’s a full-time minister who farms on the side. Just a few years ago he was going through his second divorce and it was only the love of his niece that pointed him back to Christ. He got involved in a discipleship relationship that kept him connected and accountable. Now he’s moved beyond his previous borders and has been involved in ministry in Texas, Canada and more. Listen to the power of what God can do. What Clint means when he talks about ministryHis key statement is M3 to 4G Motivate (believers) Mobilize (into their communities) Multiply (disciples and churches to the 4th generation and beyond) Sometimes that means training existing believers in traditional churches. Other times it involves prayer walking.

Kelly and Cyndi Robinette are an amazing couple but come from extremely different backgrounds. Kelly considers himself the least likely person to be involved in any kind of ministry, while Cyndi was raised in a pastor’s home. Now they serve in Cambodia and have been on the mission field for over 28 years. I was able to catch up with them in person while they were in the U.S. on furlough. It was an amazing treat to sit down at their dining room to talk about the wide variety of outreaches and job training they do. I was inspired by what God’s already done in their lives and ministry. And I picked up a few tidbits about prayer as well as how they are able to reach entire families by reaching out to a particular person in each family. (hint – it’s probably not who you expect) I was inspired, challenged, and encouraged. I think you will be too. Three ways to be involved in missionsPray – Make a list and bring them before God every day. Give – Set aside a portion of every paycheck to go towards missions. Allow God to stretch you. Go – Not everyone can go. But some can.

From a comfortable life in the United Kingdom, God has moved Chris and Beth Kent to Romania. As we talked, they shared what they've learned and seen God do as they've ministered to abandoned children and gypsies. Chris and Beth were enjoying a very affluent lifestyle in Surrey, UK. They enjoyed going out for meals and the nice things that life offered. But they’d begun to feel bored and like God had more for them. Perhaps the hardest things about moving to Romania have been coffee withdrawals and leaving behind a sewing machine. Chris and Beth want their life to be more than just words. More, even, than just actions. They want it to be tangible and to connect with people.

This week I have a special treat for you. We’re taking a break from our normal format of interviews to ponder briefly on Advent and Christmas. Christmas was always one of my favorite holidays. As a child, I loved the songs, the family, the friends, the snow (really), and of course, the presents. As a college student I learned about Advent, the season of preparation where we remember the Messiah’s incarnation and look forward to His immanent return. This week I pray that your heart is full, yet wanting for more of God. Join with the millions as we say, “Maranatha!” Come Lord Jesus. Along with my short monologue, I’m sharing a special treat – a new recording of the ancient, O Come O Come Emmanuel. The copyright and licensing information is below. Enjoy!

Jay Judson spent 12 years ministering in a closed country. He’s really good at jump-starting and multiplying networks of churches among historically bible-less people groups. I want to share some statistics with you because they’re astounding: Jay has trained 7 people. That may not sound ground-breaking but Scripture reminds us that we shouldn’t despise the day of small beginnings. Those trainees report nearly 42,500 people baptized in nearly 1,050 house churches across 10 previously unreached people groups. Additionally, he’s also worked with several groups jump-starting ministries in southern Asia. In this week’s interview he shares some astounding numbers of baptisms that all started by him finding ways to decrease so that God could decrease. And the strategies Jay and others use will work in any culture – even the US. Life in MinistryJay shares a little about himself and his ministry. When he started ministering, he found few allies in pastors. Instead, God brought him “common” people to disciple and send out, starting networks of churches in homes. He met them on their turf. He focused on the key elements of discipleship and let his key partners help him make it culturally relevant. He asked, “How can we help Buddhist-background people feel comfortable worshiping Jesus?” In the middle of oppression and suffocating poverty, they were able to ask, “Would you like to hear about hope?” http://engagingmissions.com/em016-church-planting-multiplication-jay-judson/would-you-like-to-hear-about-hope/ () Key ScriptureI must decrease so that He can increase. (See John 3:30) https://twitter.com/share?text=I+must+decrease+so+that+He+can+increase.+%28See+John+3%3A30%29&via=engagingmission&related=engagingmission&url=http://engagingmissions.com/em016-church-planting-multiplication-jay-judson/ (Click To Tweet) ChallengeIn 2004 he started seeing tremendous breakthroughs among the Buddhist people. Almost immediately he experienced total kidney failure and had to return to the US. He was on dialysis for a couple of months. In that time, the 7 churches he had planted grew to 11, and then to 30 in the following 3 months. The churches kept multiplying while he wasn’t there, which is the whole point. RevelationMeeting Dr. George Patterson totally changed how Jay approaches ministry and discipleship. Through the training he received, he learned effective ways to plant churches and to approach strategic ministry. He also learned that his focus on decreasing so that Christ could increase was critical. He Current MinistryHe’s received reports of over 20,000 baptisms over the last 4 months. As you’ll hear Jay explain, he’s intentionally under-reporting that number until he’s been able to verify it even though he’s personally trained and trusts the people who have given that report. Significance in the MarketplaceJay shared how one of his friends in Oregon owns a construction company and is totally about God’s business in and through his business. He said that his friend (and trainee) has literally baptized people in a front-end loader and is really seeing God’s Kingdom advance. Level UpJay suggested that we do two specific things to “level up” our giving. First, focus on giving to the missionaries that we already know and love rather than giving to an organization. And, second, he provided two resources – foundations that will take seed money and invest it for the purpose of giving even more for the advancement of the Kingdom.

Denise and Oswaldo Piñeiros are missionaries to the over 200,000 orphans in Ecuador. They provide resources to orphanages. They also provide support and pastoral care for adoptive families and advocacy with the government. I connected with them through Autumn Kerr of http://visitingorphans.org/ (Visiting Orphans), who we heard from in http://engagingmissions.com/autumnkerr (Episode 3). I'm really thankful for this connection. As we talked, Denise shared how God called them to this ministry. They've walked through some challenges. Now they are working on some things that should really set them up to minister more freely. Key Scripturehttps://twitter.com/home?status=...Look%20after%20orphans%20and%20widows%20in%20their%20distress%20and%20to%20keep%20oneself%20from%20being%20polluted%20by%20the%20world.%20http://engagingmissions.com/12 (Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world). James 1:27As Denise shared her heart, she also shared how she and Oswaldo are trying to focus on the often-forgotten part of that verse. As they've started caring for orphans, it's shaped how they approach ministry in and to orphanages. http://engagingmissions.com/?attachment_id=825 () ChallengeOften missionaries leave family and friends behind. When they do, they can miss out on significant life events. Last year Denise had one of those experiences but God did something special that gave her an overwhelming sense of His affection for her. RevelationAs Denise and Oswaldo were just learning about orphan care, God began to birth a desire to see the kind of ministry that they now have. Still, they were uncertain whether they were supposed to be the ones to do it. One day, Denise had a “mirror” experience that sealed the deal in her heart” [bctt tweet="I said, 'God, you have to raise up someone to do this.'

And they are working on changing the legal status of their ministry in ways that will open more doors. Level UpDenise reminded us that being a missionary can be lonely sometimes. Often the best thing we can do to “level up” our support of a missionary is just to be a friend. Send that letter. Make that call. Connect via Skype.

Hear her heart and the focus of Freedom's Promise is to prevent human trafficking by partnering with indigenous groups in Cambodia. Through a variety of individualized programs that include elements such as education, resource availability, and the creation of “Safe Zones.” As you listen, you'll discover how reading a single article started Amber in a direction she'd never considered. You'll also learn how her husband helps bring balance and how the board of Freedom's Promise stepped up, saved her from burnout, and breathed new life into the organization. http://engagingmissions.com/em011-striking-root-trafficking-amber-barron-freedoms-promise/often-when-god-calls-us/ () Key Scripture & QuoteReligion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.James 1:27[bctt tweet="There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." via="no"] https://twitter.com/home?status=There%20are%20a%20thousand%20hacking%20at%20the%20branches%20of%20evil%20to%20one%20who%20is%20striking%20at%20the%20root.%20http://j.mp/emrs011 () ChallengeAmber shares with us the challenge that many non-profits and their founders face after just a few years of operation. Thankfully, her board stepped in and the organization has new life. And, as a result of their efforts, Amber is able to focus more on what she's really good at. RevelationAmber shares the story of how reading an article started her in a new direction. It was one of only a couple times in her life when God made His plans so clear to hear. Current MinistryAmber is really excited about recent additions to the board of Freedom's Promise. It's clear that God is really building up the board to be able to shepherd Freedom's Promise into its next phase. They took several years to work on due diligence, then to get projects up and running. Now they're moving into a phase of refining. One of the things that plays into that refining phase is to focus on metrics. They know that they must measure what they're doing in order to know if it's making a difference and also to share wins with their donors. Level UpOne of the biggest ways people can help a ministry such as Freedom's Promise is to help them network. To share what they're doing with people we know as well as to help connect people who want to help with them. Freedom's Promise provides opportunities for people who like to work on clean water projects, education, trafficking prevention, and more. Because they're striking at the root of the problem, there's a place for anyone who wants to help improve the situation, regardless of the kinds of projects they prefer.

This week we're talking Rich Frazer, the president of Spiritual Overseers Service, International. Over the years, SOS International has provided training to thousands of leaders in 87 countries through more than 800 training assignments. Their specific ministry style is to serve organizations who ask them to come and provide specific training for church leaders. They search for and send the most qualified people they can find to invest deeply in the local church, wherever they go. And while they are there, they serve the vision and agenda of the organization that invited them. Rich has been providing this kind of training for indigenous leaders around the world for over 20 years and has seen the exponential value of investing in the global church in this way. I'd also like to give our mutual friend, Mike Priebe of http://memorypeel.com/ (MemoryPeel) a hat tip for connecting us.

However, 90% of the pastors, whether volunteer, full-time, or bivocational, have little to no training. The challenge SOS International has is getting to those leaders to help them know how to study Scripture, show them what Christian leadership is all about, and to invite them to adopt a Christ-like model. RevelationRich shares the surprising story of one of his early prayers about whether he should go into missions. [bctt tweet="Don't ask God if you should go.

Through Project Ignite Light, Pebbles Thompson shines a light in the darkness of severe child abuse. Listen to this week's episode to learn how buying pajamas and taking showers led Pebbles and her husband, Darin, from a comfortable position as youth pastors in a church they loved to a ministry that now helps 2,400 abused children each year. While the numbers are staggering, they believe that even one is too many. As you listen, you'll find how how their “burning bush” experience led them to child advocacy centers, where they discovered one way they could show the love of God and restore some dignity to children who so desperately needed it. You'll also hear a story of how Pebbles is able to deal with the emotional challenges of this kind of ministry.

Sean Steckbeck is a missionary and church planter in Israel. He often uses the “Person of Peace” framework for evangelism and discipleship and is seeing multiplication in house churches and discipleship that is beyond his ability to count. In this week's interview he shares a little about that and also some striking stories of God's faithfulness throughout his ministry. I’ve known Sean since he was in high school, which was actually a much darker time in my life. Since then God has been very good to me and Sean has stepped out into full-time ministry. In this week’s interview, he shares a number of great insights that have formed how he’s ministering to people now. And he also shares some news that stands in stark contrast to what we often see on the news. Key Scripturehttps://twitter.com/home?status=The%20Scepter%20Will%20Not%20Depart%20from%20Judah%20http://engagingmissions.com/seansteckbeck (The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.)Genesis 49:10ChallengeSean shares a time when God intervened in an amazing way as he and his family were returning to Israel. RevelationSean shares one key question that God used to really shake him to his core as he and his family were approaching burnout in the ministry. And then he shares how his perspective has changed since that time. https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp4gNwM-9t&text=Yeshua%20deserves%20the%20obedience%20of%20the%20nations.%20He%20deserves%20my%20obedience.&via=engagingmission&related=engagingmission (Yeshua deserves the obedience of the nations.

In his words, evangelism is transformed into a treasure hunt where the treasure is finding the person who God is already preparing. And the wonderful thing about this model is that it isn't specific to “global” missions. Instead, it is something that can be, and is being, applied wherever we are, wherever God has called us. Even if we're called to the marketplace. Level UpSean shares two things that really encourage missionaries while they're on the mission field. Speed RoundHindsight

This week I’m really happy to bring you Brent Bazler (alias), who works with the Nashville base for Youth With a Mission (YWAM). In our time together, he shared some amazing stories of God’s faithfulness and offered a two-part framework for encouraging, supporting, and blessing missionaries in unconventional ways as well as the “M.L.P.” framework for making ministry decisions. Before becoming a missionary, Brent spent time as an educator, living for the summer mission trips until it finally became clear that he and his family needed to step into full-time ministry in order to be obedient to where God was leading them. Since that transition they have faced challenges and also seen amazing examples of God’s faithfulness. I so enjoy the way Brent delights in The Lord and trusts so fully.
