How should mission organizations balance the call to pioneer new frontiers with the need to strengthen existing churches? In this episode, Dr. Trevor Holloway, Director of Mobilization at ABWE and seasoned missionary, challenges traditional approaches to global missions. We delve into strategic shifts required as Christianity expands in the global South, explore the evolving roles of modern missionaries, and examine how historical biblical figures can inform today’s mission strategies.



Dr. Holloway brings a wealth of experience from his time as a Baptist missionary in Peru and his extensive academic background in missiology. Throughout our discussion, he offers insights on adapting mission efforts to better support both new and established Christian communities, enhancing theological education, and preparing for the future of missions in Latin America. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that redefines our perspectives on missionary work in a rapidly changing world.

What does it mean to keep the faith in the midst of persecution? This episode features Pastor Stephen, a Live Global partner from Manipur, India, discussing the severe challenges faced by Christians in a region marked by religious conflicts. Manipur’s Christians, often caught between competing religious groups, face significant oppression and violence at the hands of their Hindu tribal neighbors. Pastor Stephen delves into how these pressures have shaped the community's identity and spiritual life, even emphasizing the essential role of Christian governance as a hopeful solution for lasting peace.
