The church is far bigger, more diverse, and more alive than many of us imagine.
This episode gives a powerful snapshot of the global church and the unfinished task of global mission. Pearl Ganta and Desmond Henry help us see the beauty of Christ’s worldwide family, the shift of Christianity’s centre toward the Global South, and the urgent invitation to pray, learn, give, live, and go with greater faithfulness.
God’s mission is not finished. And every follower of Jesus has a part to play.
