Ending Poverty Together

Reframing Church and Missions


Listen Later

with guest Pastor Jeremy Cook of Sherwood Park Alliance Church.

When it comes to “missions” or helping overseas, the loaded words “mutual transformation” are often thrown around. But what does this idea actually look like in practice? In this episode, Jeremy Cook, Senior Associate Pastor from Sherwood Park Alliance Church, has an answer for you.

After nine years of partnership with FH, Jeremy shares personal life-changing stories about walking alongside a community in Burundi. From a prayerful encounter in his sponsor child’s home, to a simple ask to sing together that led to a worship experience that united people across cultures. The amazing thing is, these stories aren’t just about the transformation of the community in Burundi, they’re also about the transformation of lives right here in Canada.
