In this podcast, we will explore what the Bible says about the mission of God and engage in conversations on how the mission is advancing all over the world.

    Clarifying the scope of the missionary task: individuals or peoples? Remembering David Livingstone and the UPG of the Week - the Zaza-Dimli of Turkey

    In today's episode, our host Josh Matteson walks us through the fifth chapter of Piper's "Let the Nations Be Glad". We consider the question, "Is it biblical to define the missionary task of the church as reaching all the unreached peoples of the world? Or is it sufficient to say that missions is simply an effort to reach as many individuals as possible in places different from our own." (p. 159) Also, we remember the life and legacy of Dr. David Livingstone, the 19th century missionary, physician, explorer, and naturalist  who opened up the interior of Africa to Christian missions and contributed to the eventual end of the slave trade. And... the Unreached People Group of the Week: the Zaza-Dimli of Turkey. LINKS: "Let the Nations Be Glad" by John Piper David Livingstone: The Pathfinder of Africa ​David Livingstone by Robert E.
