My guest today is Bro. Brad Wells, one-time veteran missionary to the country of Papua New Guinea and now for the past several years a church-planter in Washington, D.C. Brad is the founder and pastor of Graceway Baptist Church on Capitol Hill. He and I were recently in a conference together in Northern Ohio and he graciously agreed to sit down and talk about the ministry in New Guinea and D.C. and it proved to be a very enjoyable conversation.

In this first part of a two-part interview, Bro. Brad walks us through his call to Papua New Guinea and some of the primary labors that he undertook in that country over a period of 17 years, and then he traces the call and transition to our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. That is, from the poorest country in the Southern Hemisphere to one of most elite, educated, and affluent cities in the Western World. I assure you, it is every bit as interesting as it sounds.
