In this episode, World Missions pastor Dan Burns sits down with Thomas and Jennifer McIntyre, longtime missionaries to Taiwan, to hear about the challenges and joys of sharing Christ in a culture steeped in both idol and ancestral worship. Although Christians make up less than 1% of the population of the capital city, the McIntyres report that the Lord has raised up an indigenous Taiwanese pastor to assume leadership of the church they planted years ago, allowing them to move into a different part of Taiwan with even fewer Christians and an even greater need for missionaries dedicated to doing the long and slow, yet fruitful, work of evangelism.

In this episode, World Missions pastor Dan Burns sits down with longtime missionary Roger Lowther to discuss how God is using creativity, culture, and the arts to reveal Himself to the Japanese people.
