In this leadership lean-in conversation, Paul chats with Murray Cornelius, who is the Executive Director of International Missions at the PAOC. They chat about what IM is up to, what's changing, and what's staying the same, as well as church planting and disciple-making globally. Take some time to listen, to celebrate how God is on the move through church planting, and to consider how He might be asking you to partner with church multiplication!
While at #GenCon16 in Montreal, I reconnected with someone I barely knew in the GW world, Jeremy Feller. I'd only met Jeremy once before back in 2011 at an all-Africa retreat just outside Malindi, Kenya, where we played some solid beach volleyball with former athlete and self-talker, Murray Cornelius. I've been in a mostly #textual relationship with Jeremy for just over a year now, and in this latest edition of the Here & (T)here Podcast, I attempted to bring our newfound friendship out into the light. No matter what you thought of him before this, I know you'll agree after listening that he's a jolly good Feller, which nobody can deny.
Once per season, our Fearless Leader, aka "The Donald", sits down for a chat with the HnT Podcast. I caught up with Murray Cornelius on a warm and quiet Friday evening at #Segue 2017 in beautiful Abbotsford, BC. In an attempt to steer away from serious global worker matters, I asked Murray about a few of his #Favourite Things, and he did not disappoint. He may not be a big fan of raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens, but he does have a favourite RD and travel destination! Grab some #chai (another fav thing) and listen in while I try and make Murray #human again! ️

Murray Cornelius joins us again for a great conversation on how the Majority World church is doing things differently and maybe even better than we are. Matt and Shel have the privilege to grill their boss about his claims, ask him about turning 60 and try to get him to go "full angry prophet" on the Canadian church. If you work for PAOC IM then you have to listen or else we'll dock your pay. At least that's what Murray said. It's a great use of your time and a good way to honour Murray before he takes the fateful step into senior status. Happy Birthday big cheese!
We thought it would be best to let Johnny Cash introduce this week's special podcast guest:"There's a man goin' 'round takin' names.And he decides who to free and who to blameEverybody won't be treated all the same.There'll be a golden ladder reaching down.When the man comes around."This week we come into the presence of greatness as we interview "the man, the myth, the legend...the Big Cheese himself"...Murray Cornelius. He graciously shares his wisdom, answers Global Worker questions and agrees not to fire us (well Sheldon at least) for exposing missional secrets on the podcast.Plus we do an awesome Rapid Fire that you do not want to miss. Hear what Murray really thinks about...well...you have to listen to find out (but it does involve whether his favourite is M@ or Šel).Indeed: "the man has come to town" (at least to the Here & There Podcast).
We wish we could have hired a helicopter to give you the traffick report but our budgets wouldn’t allow it (we’re no Murray Cornelius after all). Instead we get the traffick report from two special guests, Anna Armitage (the better half of the better half of this podcast) and our Christmas-episode guest, Ashley Salomons. Recently they attended the European Freedom Network’s Bridge Conference in Bucharest, Romania. They share their thoughts on what it means to be involved in one of the "hottest" and yet most misunderstood missional issues of today: human trafficking. What does it take to fight trafficking? Why can’t one heroic individual (a la Liam Nesson) or organization take care of the problem? What can others do to get involved? Why do we need to network in order to tackle this terrible problem? While we know it won’t make your commute to work or church any shorter or more comfortable, we do hope this episode makes you realize that we can’t avoid the traffick. Instead we need to be involved in stopping the traffick and making sure those who are caught in it can find their way home.
Murray Cornelius walks into an Operations Committee meeting and asks, "What's the definition of an oxymoron?" Keith Waara is sipping Alphabet soup and looks confused. Darcy McAlister is busy dreaming. "A Canadian-Based Global Worker", Murray chuckles evilly...only to himself. Monica Demant Helbrecht is not amused (another category to maintain). In this latest edition of the Here & There Unofficial GW Podcast, Sandra Gill's favourite nephew "grills" this Champion of Missionaries about who exactly a CBGW is and what she does to deserve these titles. Sheldon Armitage was not harmed in the making of this episode, but he was MIA. #CBGW #STMlegend #empoweringwomen #GWcaresecretagent #GWguesthouse
