How do we reach people in cities, where life moves quickly and many seem indifferent to spirituality? In this episode, we speak with Gary Krause, Director of Adventist Mission, about why cities are a key focus for mission, the challenges of sharing faith in urban environments, and whether mission strategies can be adapted across different regions of the South Pacific. 

In this episode, we speak to the Australian Union Conference president Dr Brendan Pratt and the Papua New Guinea Union Mission president Pastor Danny Philip about their vision for South Pacific for Christ in their regions. We hear about the challenges and opportunities facing mission in Australia and Papua New Guinea, and the strategies being developed for this quinquennium. Are you willing to carry the flame?

Two for the price of one! In this episode, we speak to Trans Pacific Union Mission president, Pastor Charlie Jimmy and New Zealand Pacific Union president, Pastor Eddie Tupa'i about plans for the upcoming South Pacific for Christ programs in their regions. We hear about challenges and what we can look forward to in mission during the next five years. Are you willing to carry the flame?
