Jim speaks with Jeremy and Angel, a missionary couple who spent years serving in Uganda before embarking on a new mission in West London. They share valuable lessons they’ve learned about servant leadership and how God used their time working in Ugandan refugee camps to deepen their reliance on Him. Jeremy and Angel's inspiring story reminds us how we can lay aside our own agendas and be servants of all so the gospel is proclaimed in all we say and do.

In this episode, they discuss...

• What East Africans Taught Us About Prayer and Expectation [06:27]
• An Operational vs. Aspirational and Relational Approach [15:04]
• Equipping Nationals to Preach the Gospel in Local Heart Language [19:50]
• Grief of Leaving Amid Joy and Confidence in God [22:41]
• A Closed Door, An Open Door, and a "Good, Good Father" [32:08] 
• Developing Diaconal Ministries to Proclaim the Gospel [39:05]
