About The Missions Drop
From the publisher's feed
What prevents the Gospel from creating a ripple effect when it first enters a new people or place? This is what the Missions Drop Podcast is all about. Ideally, the Gospel works in a people like a…
drop of water on a lake that spreads out to the edges. However, there are boundaries and barriers that stop the Gospel from transforming hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. We seek to create conversations that continue the ripple effect of the Gospel right where we are and beyond.
