World Outreach Podcast

During the month of May we recognize the  international day of the unreached. 

Reaching Unreached people groups is at the core of who we are as an organization. It is estimated that 90% of Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhist will never meet a Jesus follower in their lifetime.  A lack of gospel access is a critical justice issue which is often overlooked in the Christian world. We are compelled to see that change.

In honor of that we have decided to re-release episode 12 a conversation with Ryan about the importance of Unreached People Groups in our missiology. 

Ryan is a member of the Directional Leadership Team of the Center for Mission Mobilization (CMM.) He and his wife Margaret were youth workers in Sweden before moving into mission leadership. Alongside his CMM responsibilities, Ryan serves multiple networks like the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), Lausanne Movement, Global Mobilization Network and Vision 5:9. During the last decade he has been invited to teach and mentor theological leaders in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. He is writer and regular speaker at international mission conferences.

In this episode we will discuss the rise of the African church and its role in missions. Over the past century the church has grown rapidly in the continent of Africa. In 2018 it was the continent with the most number of Christians. However, the Africa church is currently under represented in cross-cultural missions. A recently launched network, Send Africa, is currently exploring how to address this issue through Africa based research and the Total Mobilization of the church.  Sam Ngugi recently presented a talk on Total Mobilization at the Send Africa Summit. We will be discussing his presentation and others from this Summit.

 Sam is the Director of Mission Campaign Network (MCN), a mission mobilization agency in Kenya. Sam and his wife Harriet are  passionate mobilizers who desire to see the growth of Afro mission movement. Sam and his family are currently in the UK where he's pursuing PhD studies at Trinity College, Bristol.

In this episode, we will discuss the important topic of persecution and suffering in missions. Jesus, tells us we will face persecution, just as he did. It is a reality of missions and the advancement of the Kingdom of God. 

 Andries, who along with his wife Sunnette and children have served UPGs in Mozamique for many years. He will be sharing some of the lessons he has learned over the years of walking with Jesus in spite of difficult circumstances. 

Persecution and suffering are real in the world that we live in and the call that we carry to reach UPGs everywhere. We should not enter into this calling lightly, we do not seek persecution or suffering but must face this reality with eyes wide open and we must count the cost of following Jesus and calling others to join us in this journey. The costs are real, but He is worth it.
