The Missions Show

Where do you start ministry amid overwhelming darkness? In this week's episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott are joined by a Live Global ministry partner working in South Asia. This partner details the many ways that his for-profit and non-profit businesses are engaging people from the richest and highest in society to the very lowest. Together they talk about ministry to Hindus and the need for a centralized place to do ministry in the most populous city in the world.

This guest is a Live Global partner, medical doctor, pastor, and entrepreneur. His ministries in South Asia reach urban elites, university students, poor children and families, and rural unreached people. As part of the growing ministry in South Asia, he is raising funds for a Ministry Center that will serve as a hub for the various facets of gospel work in the region.

Does your church worship bring people together or divide them? This week on The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott talk with author and pastor Zac Hicks. In an age where worship through music is so critical and critiqued by Christians and non-Christians alike, what should our worship services look like? How do church leaders balance the need to sing hymns and more theologically deep songs with the pressures of contemporary music? And finally, what does this mean for when we are picking music for churches in a cross-cultural context?

Zac Hicks pastors and helped plant Church of the Cross in Vestavia, Alabama. He has been a worship pastor in both big and small churches in his career. He wrote the books: Before We Gather: Devotions for Worship Leaders and Teams and The Worship Pastor: A Call to Ministry for Worship Leaders and Teams.
