We sit with Ken Katayama of Crossover Global and trace how God used a multicultural story, a missions conference, and a hard “no” in Turkey to shape a lifetime of mobilizing the Church toward people with no gospel access. We unpack what it looks like to plant culturally rooted multiplying churches among unreached and unengaged people groups and how listeners can join through prayer, partnership, and giving. 
• Ken’s journey from Brazil to the US and from mixed-faith upbringing to following Jesus 
• A baptism day that becomes a turning point for his whole family 
• The first time he realizes there are people who have never heard about Jesus 
• A defining calling moment in Turkey: going back to send others 
• Why calling cannot be reduced to geography 
• How Crossover Global becomes a global organization with multilingual leadership 
• Church planting as a practical solution to the gospel access problem 
• E1 E2 E3 explained and why cultural proximity can help or hurt 
• Contextualized church life and celebrating diverse expressions of faith 
• Clear partnership paths: fund church planting, churches adopting networks, prayer for unengaged peoples
