Video – Christian Missionary Topics
Watch Our Missions Roundtable Discussion
In a recent conversation, former field workers shared their perspectives on some of the big questions about missions. Hear them talk about memorable encounters, radical self-care, what success really looks like and what they would say to someone considering missions.
Joining the group this time are two special guests. Ted Esler is the President of the leading mission network Missio Nexus. Mark Syn is the International Director of Pioneers. We loved having them.
The whole video is about 55 minutes long but it’s divided into short chapters. See below.
