Missions in the Modern Day

Today we talk about a people in a land that are very near to the heart of God. Michael Onifer is the founder of The Bethlehem Project, the Director of Vital Seed Ministries International and the author of God, Israel & You: The Scandalous Story of a Faithful God. 

Four years ago, Jessica & Braxton Wynns opened their home to disciple young college students at Campbell University. What started with just 3 students around their dining room table has grown into a community of over 75 students who are being transformed by power of the Gospel. Be encouraged as you hear how God is using the Wynns to take ground in the battle for universities. 

Most of us look at missions as a call to sacrifice, and it is! Each day, missionaries lay down their lives so they can share the Gospel around the world. However, there are times when in laying down their lives, God blesses them with a gift that answers the deep cries of their hearts. This week we learn about a family who longed to be near family and discovered that the way the Lord had that planned for them, meant moving half way around the world to Zambia.

Imagine for a second that you're on the mission field, you've been there for years raising your family and now you're sending one of your children back to the United States to start their college studies. Whose face do you want them to see as soon as they get off the plane? That is the privilege that Brian & Christine Matchell have as missionaries in residence at John Brown University. Fresh off the mission field themselves, they help missions kids acclimate back to the United States, get into their studies & feel more at home. 

People discover a lot about themselves when serving on the mission field. They find out what they're made out of, what's important to them and sometimes they even find love. In this episode we talk with, Milan and Misty Mihai, and hear how two cultures from different continents came together to love one another & to love Jesus by serving families in Romania! 

This week we circle back to Modern Day Missions and speak with their Director, Marvin Slaton. This is an exciting season for Modern Day Missions as they have officially partnered with over 1000 missionaries since 2008. Be encouraged as you hear how God is paving the way for more missionaries to reach the world.

Have you ever been around a person whom things just happen? These unique individuals inspire people and move them to do great things for the Lord. Today's guest, Benjamin Atkinson, is often described as a catalytic individual because movements happen around him. Throughout the years, Benjamin has been inspiring people towards prayer and discipleship. His efforts have produced wonderful fruit that have changed the lives of many forever. 

In this episode, we talk with Tammie Southerland. Tammie is a prayer missionary, published author of 'Permission to Burn' & the host of 'The Voice of the Burning Ones', a podcast show on the Charisma Podcast Network. Tammie sounds a call for a generation of people who won't be content to live on the edges of Christianity but want to throw themselves into the radical lifestyle of prayer, fasting and proclamation of Jesus Christ.
