global missions

Hanaya is led by the Holy Spirit to be at the right place at the right time to meet Enkhtuya, a girl from a small town in Mongolia. Two minutes into the conversation, Hanaya introduces her to the God of the endless blue sky. She unpacks more truth when she discerns Enkhtuya is actively listening.

Mongolia is poetically called the 'Land of the Endless Blue Sky', as it has over 260 days of clear blue sky. Apart from Buddhism, Tengrism the worship of the sky and nature is still practiced in Mongolia today. According to this belief, the skies are the father, and the earth is the mother of all beings in the universe.

This clip was inspired by a dream I was given in the night by the Lord. There was a moment in the dream where I was teleported to a foreign land and found myself walking on a snow-covered road. It looked like someplace in an Eurasian country. A girl who seemed 17-19 years old walked a little ahead of me. She looked sad. I moved closer and started talking to her. I told her just two or three things about God and His love. As she listened I could see that she was being deeply moved. She had never heard about God like this.

As I was about to go on my way, she said, “Why don’t you come to my place for some tea?”. She then gazed at the blue skies and said, “It’s a beautiful day!”. The blueness of the skies was quite amazing. I sensed she wanted to hear more about God. So I said okay.

You can read the rest of the dream on my website superdifferent.com. It's titled 'It's a beautiful day'.

2 Timothy 1:3-7 ESV

3 I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. 4 As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 2:1-3 ESV

1 You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

In our last episode, we began our journey of surveying the landscape of culture giving us some useful background on how we might understand this dizzyingly complex topic. And, today we wanted to focus a bit more onto some of the specific ways that these culture values manifest themselves and their impact on Gospel communication.

Today we'll be speaking with George & Marcy Romeos. George & Marcy are long-time missions partners of our church having served for over 30 years in Greece with the missions organization AMG International.

Latest statistics in the US show that there are 26 physicians per 10,000 people in our country. Looking at places like West Africa, this number is dreadfully lower - in the country of Togo, for example, that number is around 1 doctor per 10,000 people. With that kind of disparity, it’s obvious that medicine and healthcare are a critical human need in places like West Africa. Where does Christian missions fit into that story?

Today we're continuing the conversation by speaking to one of our partners serving in the medical field in Africa. We'll be speaking again with Caroline Klingbeil. Caroline is a missions partner of Liberty who serves as a nurse at the Hospital of Hope in Togo.

She worshipped demons her entire life and paid the price. The witchdoctor was close to death when someone told her about a man named Jesus, who could save her from the enemy’s clawing grip. She vowed to find him even if it meant crawling to the church.
