Engaging Missions

The Bible is God’s letter to all people, and it’s central in teaching us about who God is. Douglas Search joins the show to share about how he is working to get more Bibles in more hands across the world. Doug has travelled to places like Kenya, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ghana to bring Megavoice audio Bibles to people who don’t have one.

For a few years, Doug worked at a Bible school in Jerusalem, and the story of how he got there is a testimony of God’s faithfulness. Over and over, he mentions how God led him in ways he never expected. Doug is passionate about teaching the Bible to people and seeing people grow in their love for the Scriptures.

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.

Full-time ministry was every second of my life, every day of my life. I was in ministry when I was at work, and I was in ministry when I came home. I was in ministry when we went to the motels, I was in ministry when we went to the grocery store. I was in ministry no matter where I was.Keith Giles

When Jesus rose and returned to the Father, He left us the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures. For some people, hearing the Bible read in a woman’s voice is the best way for them to come and know Jesus. On this episode, Ann White joins to talk about her story and how she became interested in making a female audio Bible.

Through processing her own trauma and working with incarcerated women, Ann found the need for people to hear the Bible in a woman’s voice. She shares about the importance of Scripture for everyday life. By making the Bible accessible for people, more are able to hear about the amazing love of God and what He’s done for them.
