There is power in telling a story of God’s redemption on Earth. David Joannes, today’s guest, has recently written a book about his experience as a missionary and what God has been doing in his life. He is currently a missionary in Thailand with his wife and daughter. Also, he leads a ministry called Within Reach Global, which works to spread the Gospel in the unreached areas of Asia.
He shares about God’s heart for those who have never heard the Gospel. As David has been serving the Lord, he has grown in reflecting Christ’s heart for these people. He continually strives to see different people groups have access to the Good News of Jesus.
