After decades of missionary life in Morocco, Robb and Patti Black were asked to move to Kansas City. David sits with them to hear their story of being led by the Lord to wait in Kansas City and now to again love and live among the Muslim people, now here in Kansas City, in partnership with All Nations and Hope for Ismael. If you are inspired by the Black’s story and want to know more about how to be prayer or finance partners with them, or to take part in their course “Lead with Love” (an 8-week course around cross-cultural discipleship with Muslims) you can email Robb at [email protected]

After 30+ years of inner city ministry, Tim Goddu was led by the Lord in a season of grief to land in Kansas City. Tim and Laurie Goddu are a part of Navah’s regional teams which coach home church leaders across the city and this week we talk with Tim about his history of living out ministry in a neighborhood, whether it's a coastal inner city or midwest suburb, and how his experience informs how they coach young leaders.
