Host Brian Salter, lead pastor at LMPC, is joined today by our partners at Bible Mission Global. Paul is the Field Director and Gerhard is the Director of Communications for BMG. Keith Michaels, ruling elder and member of the World Missions Committee at LMPC, also joins the conversation. Brian and Keith have made several trips to Central Asia with Paul, to see and partake in the work that LMPC is supporting there. The partnership between Bible Mission Global and LMPC began when Ted Hope made the first visit in August 1992!

Bible Mission Global (BMG)

Exhortations to LMPC from Paul:
1. INFORM yourself about what God is doing in Central Asia -- see the website for information
2. SHARE with others what God is doing in Central Asia
3. PRAY for the work God is doing in Central Asia
4. BE READY to do or to go to assist with God's work in Central Asia -- One practical suggestion is for fathers and sons to go on short mission trips to Central Asia together!

An additional challenge from Gerhard: There is a great need for young people to serve full-time in missions.
