When you think of a place full of violence and crime, poverty and hunger, where do you turn for answers and help? That is the South American nation of Colombia, and people are really suffering there. So, where do we find resources to offer people hope for the future? Our guest says to turn to God’s truth and the principles in the Bible. She states and shows that it always works. Hear how.

If you ever thought that Christian people need to make a choice between going into “the ministry” or going into work or business, prepare to have that thought challenged. Our guest believes that work and business can actually be a ministry, can be just as important and valued as being a pastor or a missionary. He’s done both and has some valuable insights to share. See if you agree.

Everyone is in favor of missions, Right? Well, that kind of depends. Sure, Jesus said to “Go! Make disciples of all nations", but what does that mean for a local church in Your Town, U.S.A.? Is it true that a commitment to missions can detract from the work of a local church? Is it true that involvement in missions can breathe fresh zeal into the life of a church? Listen for insights for your church.

Missionaries around the world put everything on the line to follow God’s call to share His love and truth in a foreign land. Their stories of servanthood and sacrifice are inspirational and heart-tugging. Yet, they would all say there’s no way they could do what they do without the “invisible force”.  Of course missionaries pray for God’s daily enabling and guidance. But there’s another “invisible force” that they totally depend on. This one looks human.

The only way we can know the truth about God is by His direct revelation to us in the Bible. How else could we know that He is the Creator of the Universe and that He loves us and wants us to know Him? Many people groups do not have a Bible in their own language. It is the mission of Wycliffe Bible Translators to remedy that problem. Hear about their tireless work and wonderful results.

When it comes to sharing the love of Jesus with people who need to hear, there are some pretty hard places to reach.  Hidden tribes and people groups places without a Bible, regions that are hostile to the Christian faith. What about prisons?  Criminals, offenders, people who have done some pretty terrible things. Hear about a dynamic program that offers a college degree to inmates who will learn how to make a difference – on the inside.

Responding to Jesus’ Great Commission to “make disciples of all nations”, is definitely a team effort.  And it takes all of us, working together, to get the job done. Some will pray for God to raise up people to share His love with others.  Some will go; they hear God’s calling and respond with their lives. Some will give, providing financial resources to make it all happen. This episode is about giving that changes the world.

The goal of Mercy, Inc. is to work with our partners to help people come to faith in Christ, and to help them grow in that faith. It’s happening all over the world and we are thrilled to be a part of that. The Bible says that’s God’s goal for people, and we know it as being “transformed”. It’s not just a system of beliefs; it is a profound change that affects all areas of life.

It is amazing how much God’s people can give to His work if they just have the “will” to do it. Many good causes go underfunded when supporters neglect to take care of that one last act of generosity and stewardship. Having a kingdom mindset is the beginning. Getting the legal help to take care of business before you go to heaven is the follow-through. This encouraging and informative show is a must-hear.
