S04E17 What Does Today’s Missionary Look Like? with Dr. Mary Ho

Modern Day Missionaries

In this episode, we take a look at what today’s missionary looks like and explore some of the similarities and differences to missionaries in the past. We’re joined by Dr. Mary Ho, the executive director of All Nations. Mary gives us a behind-the-scenes look at All Nations missionary John Allen Chau, who was killed a few years ago on mission and whose story was feature in a Disney + documentary.
What does it mean to be a missionary today? How do different cultures view our calling? And how can missionaries care for themselves and be cared for by their senders in ways that are healthy and sustainable?
