We all know a missionary, but is what they do important? Should we fund missionaries? Are they actually as persecuted as we think? What's the difference between missions and evangelism?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and a missionary from Central Asia, Max, talk through the life of a missionary and also focus on why God is a missional God and where we see the call for missions in the Bible. Listeners will get a chance to hear some personal stories from Max and how he was called to the mission field. This is not an episode you'll want to miss!
