Where in the World Are Your Neighbors? Love Them. – with Beth Watkins – EM224


Listen Later



Sometimes, plans don’t go exactly the way you think they will. In those times of transition, you have to learn how to trust God through it. That’s exactly what our guest, Beth Anne Watkins, talks about on the podcast. Over the last few years, she has served in Egypt, Sudan, and other countries.



During her time overseas, Beth faced a lot of difficulty, and she has learned more about God’s faithfulness through it. You can hear the joy and love of Christ in her voice, and her greatest desire is to love Him and love others deeply.
