Missionary Jeff Porter has spent more than two decades loving and serving the people of South Africa and Zimbabwe. I wanted to have this conversation with Bro. Jeff, not only because of his many years of experience in this region of the world, but also because of what I witnessed in watching him interact with his people. He he has a big heart for the people among which he labors and I hope you'll hear a bit of that come out in the course of the conversation. This was the first interview recorded for the Great Commission Conversations podcast. I appreciate Bro. Porter sitting down for this interview while in South Africa after a very long day of travel - and automotive trouble - through the Zimbabwean bush.
