Are you serving the purposes God has for you in your generation? Every generation has a judgment, and past generations will judge us. Jesus thinks in terms of generations and groups and the responsibility of each. Do we? We are meant to make a generational impact like William Tyndale, C.S. Lewis, Smith Wigglesworth, and the ones who have gone before us. But the crowd rarely gets it right. It takes those who are willing to stand and serve the purposes of God who have the power to turn a generation to the right path.

II Timothy 2: 6 - 8

Missionary Letter - Kenya

Send us Fan MailA missionary story that doesn't start with a pulpit, a seminary track, or a flawless “calling” moment can be the one that hits closest to home. I sit down with Grayson, who went back to school as an adult, found his faith sharpened through Christian education, and eventually said yes to serving in China. What follows is a vivid look at missionary life where the government is watching, gathering is complicated, and the gospel still moves from person to person with surprising speed.We talk about house church reality in China, government-sanctioned churches, and what happens when certain topics are treated as dangerous. Grayson shares the joy of seeing students come to Christ, including a week when 120 people were coming through their home for Bible study, and the long, patient conversations it can take for faith to take root. Then he tells a moment I won't forget: a new believer insists baptism should happen in a river, so they ride bicycles for almost two hours to make it happen, read Scripture on the riverbank, and decide “now is the proper time.”The conversation turns honest about the cost too: a student who may have turned them in, police interrupting worship, and IDs being recorded. And yet even that story bends toward redemption. We also compare spiritual hunger abroad with the spiritual numbness that can grow in American comfort, and why recovering awe for God matters more than winning arguments. Grayson even lays out a simple, clear gospel summary he shared with kids at Vacation Bible School.If you want to follow or support Grayson's work, check out globaloutreach.org (account 3086) and OrmanFamilyThailand.com.

Missionary Letter - Missionary Emeritus

Shawn, Cullan, Justin and Other Justin attempt to understand this parable from Matthew chapter 13 and argue some like usual.

In this Sunday Interview, Brad Onishi sits down with historian and former CIA Africa analyst Holly Berkley Fletcher, author of The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism. Drawing on her experience growing up as a Southern Baptist missionary kid in Kenya, Fletcher explores how the evangelical missionary movement became intertwined with American exceptionalism, racial hierarchy, patriarchy, and Christian nationalism. Together, they examine why missionary culture often functions as a form of spiritual bypassing—allowing white evangelicals to see themselves as heroes abroad while avoiding difficult conversations about racism, power, and injustice at home. The conversation also explores the hidden costs of missionary life, including abuse, isolation, authoritarianism, and the impossible expectations placed on missionary families. Fletcher explains how the same dynamics that have fueled the Southern Baptist abuse crisis and evangelical support for Donald Trump emerge from a culture rooted in fear, certainty, and hierarchy. It's a wide-ranging discussion about faith, identity, and the future of American evangelicalism—and why understanding the missionary movement helps explain some of the most pressing religious and political conflicts in the United States today.

“Jesus doesn't put burdens on us,” says Jean-Pierre Ducharme, O.F.M. “Jesus invites us into a relationship where we are graced and blessed by God.” Continuing our series on Preaching for Missionary Discipleship, host Ricardo da Silva, S.J. welcomes Jean-Pierre Ducharme, O.F.M., Minister Provincial of the Holy Spirit Province, Canada. He makes the case for homilies that center the relationship Jesus invites us into — one of freedom and joy — rather than dwelling on sin and placing undue burdens on the congregation.

Today, we are sharing a new lesson God has been teaching us about living in light of the Great Commission as God's people. God has increased our desire to really LIVE in light of eternity and to be willing to change maybe old habits and comfortable routines to line up with what we see in the New Testament.  So, we are looking at the Scriptures and asking the question- what was normal life like for the early church? What characterized their lives?  In this episode, we highlight one important theme that we have found. Listen to these 9 Scriptures and see what theme emerges: 9 examples in the book of Acts: Acts 2:46: “day by day, attending the temple and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.”  Acts 2:47: “praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Acts 5:42: “And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.” Acts 6:1: “Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.”  Acts 16:5: “So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.” Acts 17:11: “…they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.” Acts 17:17: “So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.” Acts 19:9: “…he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrranus.” Acts 20:31: “Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears.” In the New Testament church, there was: Daily outreach (proclamation, reasoning with others) Daily time in the Word (teaching, examining) Daily fellowship (breaking bread in homes) Daily ministry (distribution for the widows) Daily increase A few ideas for your own action steps: 1- Every morning surrender your day to God and ask for opportunities to share the gospel and serve and encourage others. 2- Pray for the lost daily. Our team in our city prays for the lost in our city every day at 12:12 pm – if you want to join us, please email us. 3- If you're not already reading the Word daily, there are plenty of great daily reading plans online, or you can use the YouVersion app. 4- How often are you getting real Christian fellowship? Not just tuning into an online church service, but having real conversations about God and how you're doing. 5- Use your online presence to share biblical encouragement! Think about the people who follow you and how you can use that platform to speak about Christ and give people hope.  Find the full study on our webpage.

Missionary Letter - Aviation Director

Do you have what it takes to be a missionary? In this episode of The Missions Show, Alex and Scott discuss the importance of spiritual readiness, personal holiness, and character formation as someone starts to explore their calling to the mission field. Drawing from Scripture and missionary examples like Hudson Taylor, they highlight the need for intentional training, self-discipline, and a serious pursuit of sanctification. The conversation also explores the role of the local church in shaping future missionaries. Alex and Scott encourage aspiring missionaries to embrace service, accountability, and theological depth within their church communities rather than waiting for formal titles or positions. They challenge listeners to take ministry preparation as seriously as other demanding professions, pursuing both practical experience and robust doctrinal training. Key Topics The difference between a desire to serve and true readiness for missionary ministry Cultivating personal holiness, self-control, and spiritual maturity Lessons from Hudson Taylor on intentional missionary preparation The importance of local church involvement and servant leadership Developing resilience, discipline, and ownership in ministry Why theological depth and doctrinal training matter for long-term missionary effectiveness Is God calling you to missions?
