Join us for a powerful interview as we bridge the gap between Wakulla County and the "Warm Heart of Africa." Missionaries John and Mollie Wells share their journey of planting churches in Malawi since 2021, focusing on the Yao people. You will also hear the incredible testimony of Benson Banda, a Yao local who found Christ and now risks everything to share that same hope with his tribe. This episode explores the stark differences between American abundance and Malawian necessity, the reality of religious persecution, and the call for every Christian to live a life of intentional evangelism.

Main Highlights from the Interview:

-- The Yao people are considered "unreached," meaning they lack access to the Gospel and have no cultural context for the message of Jesus.

-- Life in Malawi involves significant infrastructure challenges, including frequent shortages of water, electricity, and fuel.

-- "Farming God’s Way" is a ministry tool used to teach improved agricultural techniques while simultaneously sharing the Gospel with local farmers.

-- New believers in Muslim communities often face severe persecution, including being beaten or cast out by their own biological families.

-- The church becomes a vital "spiritual family" and a place of security for those who have lost their earthly homes due to their faith.

-- A challenge to American Christians to recognize that God often calls us to be uncomfortable to fulfill His purposes.
