Is it wise to go to a dangerous country for missions, or is it reckless to risk your life?

What's the definition of a mission field? It is a place where lost and hopeless people live and work. The public school system is one massive mission field. Some incredible believers are teachers, aids, and administrators throughout the public school system, but we need more. God and the Bible have been weaseled out of every corner of our education system. But take heart: those of you serving in the mission field of the public school system are being prayed for today. Don't give up. The fields are ripe for harvest. More of you are desperately needed there to serve as teachers, aides, school board members, and administrators. So please pray for those serving in this battleground mission field and consider joining them in the fight for the souls of our public school students.

Episode 219Series: On the Mission Field - 25In today's episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we interview Joanna Smith, missionary helper to the great country of Colombia. She will be helping her brother, a veteran missionary already established there, in reaching the lost souls for Christ. Perhaps you wonder why missionaries are needed in a country in which over 90% of the people identify as Christian. Isn't a country like that evangelized enough? Well, the country is overwhelmingly Catholic, and churches that preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ as it is in the scriptures are incredibly few and far between. In fact, you won't believe how far the nearest ministry of like faith is from her brother's ministry! God is at work, however, and in this interview, we will hear how God called Joanna to serve the people Colombia, especially the women and children. Join us as we learn about her upbringing, her surrender to ministry work, and all about what God is doing on that particular mission field to draw lost souls to Himself.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeIApple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdEdifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsvYouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersChristian Books.com: https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574See all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates

Episode 217Series: On the Mission Field - 24We have another great opportunity to sit down and talk with missionaries! In this episode, we are talking with Zach and Sarah Smith, missionaries to American Samoa. If you are anything like Jay, the only thing you might know about American Samoa are the famous people that originate or descend from there, like Tulsi Gabbard or Dwayne Johnson. There is so much more to the territory than its celebrities, of course, like the more than 50,000 souls that currently live there. Many of them would say they are Christian, but they do not have a personal relationship with Christ. These are the ones with whom Zach and Sarah would like to share the gospel. You will get to hear about God's call on both their individual lives and their life as a married couple, the work that has yet to be done in American Samoa, and what God is doing there right now. Could God be moving you to partner with them in the work?Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI Apple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdEdifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsvYouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersChristian Books.com: https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574See all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliatesNotes:Website: https://smithstosamoa.com/

In this episode, Paul talks about the generations of missionaries in his lineage, and how this influenced his path to becoming a doctor and integrating faith and medicine on the mission field.In this episode, Paul and Andrew discuss:Dr. Paul Bendor-Samuel's life from growing up in the mission fields, to becoming a physician, missionary, and Executive Director of the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies.His legacy of faith and calling - Paul traces his family story from his Jewish refugee great-grandfather who met Christ, to the generations of missionaries in his family who dedicated themselves to Bible translation and cross-cultural ministry.Paul's calling to medicine and mission, and how this paved his way to serving people outside traditional ministry spaces, and intertwining healing and mission with his calling.Redefining development work, and what "Christian development" means to missions with local communities.How the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies equips global Christian leaders to shape theology rooted in their own cultures.The growing spiritual openness among young people in Europe and North America.What Western Christians can learn from believers in the rest of the world — bold faith, joy, and community.Read the transcript: biblesociety.ca/transcript-scripture-untangled-s11-ep7-----Paul spent the first 10 years of his life in Brazil and West Africa, the son of missionary parents. He studied medicine in Cardiff, Wales, where he met his wife, Liz, also a doctor. In preparation for cross-cultural mission they did two years theological and missiological training and then served in Tunisia for 12 years, first in primary health care and rural development and then for seven years as Executive Director of the joint mission agency L ‘Association de Cooperation en Tunisie (ACT - actdev.org). During our life in Tunisia, we were privileged to see God building his church again in that country after fourteen centuries without an indigenous church. In 2003, Paul became International Director of Interserve (interserve.org), moving to Malaysia in 2005. Between 2003 and 2015 Paul led the organisation through two major change processes, the first organisational, the second missiological. In 2016, Paul became Executive Director of the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS - ocms.ac.uk). OCMS is a global hub, based in Oxford, UK, that seeks to enable the church to participate more fully in God's mission through rigorous research and applied scholarship. Paul enjoys preaching, teaching and has published a number of articles and two books on mission and organisational spirituality.Paul and Liz have been married for over 40 years, have four sons, three daughter-in-laws and five grandchildren.----- Canadian Bible Society: biblesociety.ca Help people hear God speak: biblesociety.ca/donate Connect with us on Instagram: @canadianbiblesociety The Bible Course: biblecourse.ca

The landscape of campus ministry has transformed dramatically since 1962, with today's college students facing unprecedented mental health challenges amid our digital age. Despite these difficulties, this may be the most exciting time for campus ministry as Gen Z shows increasing spiritual curiosity, openness to intergenerational relationships, and a hunger for authentic mentorship. Churches have a unique opportunity to be trustworthy guides for young people who are often 'harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.' By positioning ourselves as authentic witnesses and engaging intentionally with students, we can respond to Jesus's call to shine our light and enter the plentiful harvest field.

Dr. Herb Gorin and dental student, Nick Greene, had a blast learning from each other and serving the dentally needy in Rwanda on a recent Global Health Outreach mission trip. The nineteen-person team treated over 2,100 patients during the five days of treatment. It was a tremendous week on several levels – clinically, spiritually, and interpersonally. Their story illustrates how God can use healthcare professionals at any stage of their careers.
From total dependence on our parents to taking our final breath, we are given a multitude of mercies by the creator. He is the very definition of love.

This is Faithlife, and now Pastor Jared.

Anyone who has been serving as a missionary for very long knows that missionaries disagree on many issues from time to time! We even find disagreements in the pages of the book of Acts. Listen in as we share 4 biblical principles to apply when we disagree with coworkers, and some practical tips we have learned over the years as well.
How do we view other Christian factions like Catholics and Eastern Orthodox? Alex and Scott explore how Evangelical Protestants should view Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox believers in the context of global missions. They address the question of whether these groups are “reached” by the gospel, if they are our brothers and sisters in Christ, if they should be evangelized, and finally if we should consider those groups in our mission strategies. Alex and Scott stress that while unreached people groups deserve priority, revitalizing and strengthening existing Christian communities is also vital to prevent spiritual decline and that a balanced approach is needed in both breaking new ground and building up existing foundations. Key Topics Covered Definitions of “reached” vs. “unreached” in missiological terms. Theological and practical considerations for viewing Catholics and Orthodox believers as brothers in Christ. The historical precedent for re-evangelizing Christianized but nominal regions. The dangers of neglecting existing Christian communities in mission strategy. The need for unity in presenting the gospel across denominational lines. Download the transcript for this episode.

This week we paid special attention to you, the everyday workplace believer, and your role in bringing God's Kingdom here to earth. Just because you're not a pulpit pastor or a foreign missionary doesn't mean that you're not in full-time ministry. Your workplace is your mission field! You might be the only representative of Jesus that your coworker, vendor, supervisor, or client ever comes into contact with. Every work day is an opportunity for you to be the hands and feet of Jesus. So, stop thinking less of yourself if you don't have a job in vocational ministry. Where you work and who you work with – none of it's an accident! Practice being intentional at work, especially with those who would never step foot inside the walls of a church. Your full-time ministry has already begun, and the workplace is the largest mission field in the world.
In this episode of the Sermon Notes podcast, Jay Strother kicks off a special August series focused on global missions by sitting down with Winston and Emmy Coltart, global workers serving in Zimbabwe. The conversation explores their remarkable journey from meeting on a short-term mission trip to planting a church and opening a gospel-centered coffee shop near a university in Zimbabwe. Winston and Emmy share candidly about the challenges and joys of ministry in Africa, adapting their outreach strategies, and how Romans 1:16-17 has shaped their boldness and confidence in sharing Christ. The episode is filled with inspiring personal stories, honest reflections on cross-cultural ministry, and encouragement for listeners to embrace their own call to obedience and mission, no matter where they are.

Episode 207Series: On the Mission Field - 23Shane and Emily Tasker are a sweet couple called to minister to the souls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The DRC is a fascinating country not just for its history, but also because of the staggering number of youth that make up its population. Forty-two percent of the population is under the age of fourteen! This provides a phenomenal opportunity to reach young hearts for Christ! The Tasker family joins us in studio for a great conversation about the spiritual work they are setting out to do in that country, their calling from the Lord, and the work that's cut out for them in this endeavor.

Episode 206Series: On the Mission Field - 22We've interviewed many missionaries in the Removing Barriers podcast, but today, we have the opportunity to interview a different kind. This missionary is not called to a specific country or to a specific group of people, but instead is called to minister to missionaries themselves. Dr. Bud Steadman joins us to discuss his missions board and his work as a missionary discipler. What does that mean? Well, listen in as we discover what he and his wife do, how they do it, and how their roles help shape the efforts of missionaries throughout the world.

Brother Nathan had a ministry sharing the gospel and praying with Muslims in the Middle East. He and other believers had been evangelizing for more than eight years. The responses were almost completely positive. Then, as he was ministering with two others last year, they ran into a very different response. Nathan and his two friends found themselves in a police office, their hands behind their backs, facing a serious charge of “heralding Christianity.” Nathan's missionary journey started long before his arrest. At 19, Nathan joined YWAM to experience short-term mission work after deciding to give his entire life to be used by the Lord—wherever He asked Nathan to go. Nathan will share how Peter's choice to step out of the boat on the water with Jesus inspired him to be all in with Christ. As a young man and zealous missionary, Nathan didn't think much about the risk of Christian persecution—until it happened. Nathan will share advice and encouragement to future missionaries and describe his missionary work each day in the Middle East. “Muslims are hungry for prayer,” Nathan shares. “They are real people with real issues who long for prayer.” Nathan had many opportunities to pray healing over Muslims and see the Lord at work. Listen as he tells the story of his arrest and what he felt when as he realized he could be facing years in prison. Nathan will also share how the Lord relieved fear and anxiety when they took their prison bread and the water and turned it into a remembrance of Christ's suffering. Since they didn't have a Bible, the scripture they knew in their heart was all they had to hold onto during their worship and prayers to the Lord in prison. Join us next week to hear more of Nathan's experience in prison and how it became their mission field for Christ!
