Reach Beyond episodes

July 06 If You Build It...
Today we're joined by Jason and his wife, Ellisa. Jason is an architect, Ellisa is a physician, and together they followed God's call to serve in missions. They now live and work at a hospital in Ethiopia, using the gifts and skills God has given them to care for people and share the hope of Christ.
Their story is a great reminder that serving Jesus isn't limited to a specific job or place. Whether you're an architect, a doctor, a teacher, or anything else, God can use your everyday work for his kingdom. We're excited for you to hear how God led them to Ethiopia and what he's been teaching them along the way.
