In this episode, FBC Global Mission's Pastors, Scott and Jim interview Hanson and Jocelyn Manova who are pastoring a church in the State of Tamil Nadu in India. This church has been pastored by Hanson's father for many many years. Due to Hanson's father failing health, God led Hosur Bible Church to send Hanson and Jocelyn to take over the pastoring of this church. This church has been in existence for 100 years and was being characterized by legalism, self righteousness, and division. As Hanson has been leading the church into a growing knowledge of Who God is and what He is really like, as well as His grace that has been manifested and bestowed upon us through the finished work of Christ, great transformation has begun to take place within the hearts of these people. Along with this testimony, Hanson and Jocelyn also share with us how God has been using them to help provide food and groceries for needy families in 6 different churches.
