The Global Church

This episode is the second part of a two part focus from a trip that we just made to South Asia in October. In this episode, Gopal shares more detail about some of the amazing things that God is doing in and through his ministry. Also, Carl Dennis from FBC Shenandoah shares his perspective and impressions from his first trip to visit an FBC Global Missions ministry location.

This episode is the first part of a two part focus on a ministry in a country in South Asia where FBC has been partnering now for more than 20 years. In this episode, our key partner, Gopal, shares how he came to Christ and first came into contact with Fellowship Bible Church.

When Joel and Rachel first left for Southeast Asia two years ago, Covid really hindered their ability to gather with the church and build relationships. Since that time, God has opened the doors to assemble and they have been able to become active members and already the church has become such a huge blessing to them. Also in this episode, they share how they have continued to progress in the language and that they are within months of completing their formal language study and being turned loose to begin teaching in the church.

In this episode Curtis and Michelle share regarding some of the amazing things that God is doing in Garfield Park, inner city Chicago, through the inspiring ministry of those who make up Reborn Community Church. The incarnational manifestation of the Love of God that is being revealed through Reborn is praise worthy as God continues to use it to open doors for amazing ministry opportunity in an extremely hard and dangerous community. Curtis will be with us next month to also share in person how God continues to work, as well as how we as a church and individuals can become even more involved and a greater help in this much needed work.

This episode is part two of a two part interview with Elijah Walls. In part one, Elijah shared how he came to Christ and how God has used a really difficult upbringing for good in his life. Here in part two, Elijah goes on to share how God worked in his life, led him to seminary and what God has been laying on his heart in terms of future full time ministry.

This episode is a two part interview with Elijah Walls. As a young man who was born to 15 year old kids who were not ready to be parents, you can imagine some of the extreme trials and difficulties he has had to endure. Elijah’s perspective on the sovereignty Of God and how God has used all of this for good in His life is very inspiring

“Over the past few years, one of our own “homegrown” church members, Martha Beitzel, has been preparing to give her life as a full time missionary, serving with Ethnos 360 in the country of the Philippines. In this episode, Martha shares how God has been leading her, what’s been involved in her preparation, and what needs to take place in the next year in order to get to the field”.

In this last year, Simon Yako has moved to a new position within the EMS missionary organization in Nigeria. Simon has moved to a role of pastor to the missionaries. Simon tells us of some of the joys in this new role, but also some of the heartaches as churches, Christians, and missionaries are often persecuted and attacked by muslim extremists. Simon's heart rings loud and clear. On the one hand, weeping with those who weep, but on the other hand, rejoicing in the greatness and faithfulness of God as these times of hardship, trial, and difficulty become opportunities to see Him at work all the more.

This episode contains update part 2 from our May 2022 trip to Cuenca. Part 1 was from the perspective of the Cuenca church leaders. Part 2 is from the perspective of those who went on the trip. From FBC, we had Jose Rodriguez, Isaiah McManigle, Jim Pool, and Scott McManigle.

In this episode, FBC Global Mission's Pastor, Jim Pool, interviews the Cuenca church leadership. The leaders are very thankful and very encouraged by God's grace and faithfulness as He continues to show Himself strong on their behalf.
