Embark on a profound journey with me, W. Austin Gardner, as we traverse the vibrant paths of world evangelism, expanding from the bustling streets of Peru to the spiritual hunger in Bangladesh. Prepare to be enchanted by the tales of dedication and fervor that define the missionary experience. This episode promises to be an enlightening exploration of the roles played by both those who go and those who send, with a special focus on the indispensable 'Remainers' or 'Senders' whose contributions fuel this global endeavor.
Witness the candid reflections and lessons learned from the mission field, where cultural immersion and humility pave the way for potent, life-changing ministry. From the historical legacy of William Carey to the timely wisdom found in Thomas Hale's "On Being a Missionary," this episode is an intimate look into the triumphs and trials faced by those called to serve. Join us as we uncover the complex beauty of missionary work, and may you too be inspired to expect and attempt great things from God.
