On this Best of show, we feature Pat Dragon and the work of Dynamic Women in Mission, a very active ministry in multiple countries. They are helping literally thousands of women embrace Christ as Savior, then to grow into all He has created and called them to be. It is inspiring to hear of the zeal of these women as they learn to take their faith seriously and to lovingly share it with others, resulting in the planting of thousands of new churches.

In this Best Of show we ask the question, "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.

Partnering with Mercy, inc. men leave the demands - and comforts! - of daily life at home to go to another country to bring blessings and benefits to people they don’t even know. The personal rewards are extraordinary, and the good they do is enthusiastically appreciated. Many men have a hard time visualizing what such a trip would be like. Wonder no more!

Enjoy this encore show: Here’s the recipe for successful mission work: Start with manpower and money. Put plenty of both into a project, add some compassion and courage, stir and cook until good results are obtained. This episode is about the power of funding to transform lives – and generations. Mentioned many times is the phrase “Business As Mission” (“BAM”). Helping people and families build sustainable businesses is remarkably simple if you know what you’re doing. That’s what Mercy, inc. does!

God is in the business of reconciling the world to Himself, calling people everywhere to repentance and faith in Christ. He isn’t shouting through the clouds to convey the invitation; He is raising up people by the thousands around the world to do that work, to carry that message far and wide. Many people have many skills and abilities, but will they step up, answer the call, and make themselves available? How about you?

Christian churches who are committed to the Great Commission realize that there must be a balance between reaching out locally and reaching out around the world. But it’s not always easy to find that balance. What is the role of the pastor, and how can we go about finding a God-pleasing balance? If you are a part of a church, how have you dealt with this matter? Listen to Dr. Brown to get some perspective.
