In today's episode of Discussions with Dusty I have a powerful conversation with Cyrus Mad-Bondo. I met Cyrus in September of 2022 on my latest mission trip to Guatemala and he has become a dear friend and brother in Christ.  His love for the Lord is evident in all he does and especially all he speaks. Cyrus is a pastor, a missionary, he speaks 5 languages, and is a champion for sharing the love of Christ in all corners of the world.

Cyrus shares his life's story and how God has brought him through some of the most trying times growing up in the Central African Republic to the tragedy of losing his daughter, Irene, but has managed to turn that tragedy into triumph for the sake of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth! 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! 

Be blessed and happy listening.

For today's episode of Discussions with Dusty I sat down with Pastor Mike Duma.  We had an incredible conversation about his childhood, how he wanted to live for the world, and make a lot of money; but God had other plans.  He would eventually lead Mike to plant a church in an underserved area of East Akron with the goal of creating a "hospital for sinners" to build people up and welcome them into the family of Christ! 

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did! 

Be blessed and happy listening!
