Behind most amazing ministries is a group of amazing supporters! Though at times we seem to think that ministry just happens, financial support and stability are keys to ongoing ministry.

Every day around the globe, people are perishing without hearing or reading the Word of God. That is what continues to drive the team at Wycliffe Bible Translators.

This week, hear how they’ve teamed up with a well-known space agency to speed up that process from Andrew Flemming. That’s this week on Missions Today!

We have been called to take the message of Christ to our “Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth”.

Our guest this week has done all three and will share some insights on finding your calling, even when things may seem their darkest. That’s this week on Missions Today.
