Episode Summary

In this episode of Thinking it Through, Teaching Pastor Adam Brock and Worship Pastor JD Broussard interview Ethan and Daxton, summer missionaries who ministered in rural South Asia. They discuss the challenges of sharing the gospel in an unreached place and encourage all believers to participate in the Great Commission through giving, going, and praying.

Episode Notes

The Great Commission in Unreached Areas

They also discuss the challenges of sharing the Gospel, especially in unreached areas. We explore how missions aren’t just about going, but are a continuous commitment to God’s work. Hear from Ethan and Daxon about their summer spent in South Asia and the hurdles they faced in spreading the word of God. We also share opportunities for others to join in this mission, like the Nehemiah Teams trip, which invites young individuals to participate in an exciting mission to an unreached island in the Philippines.
