    An Elder’s Perspective on Ministry in New Orleans | Wes Arabie Interview

    In this episode of the 416 Interview Series, Wayne Rodgers sits down with Wes Arabie, an elder at the DeGaulle Drive Church of Christ (New Orleans, Louisiana).

    Building on the Frontier: 25 to 80 Souls in 14 Years

    What does it take to grow a small rural church in one of the most remote corners of the country? In this episode of the 4:16 Interview Series, Wade Purdom shares his journey of serving the church of Christ in Boundary County, Idaho. From just 25 members when he and his wife arrived to now averaging around 80, Wade reflects on God’s providence, the unique challenges of “frontier” ministry, and the blessings of raising a family in a community that feels both isolated and yet deeply connected. His story is one of perseverance, prayer, and hope for the church’s future in the Inland Northwest. Wade is a 2007 graduate of the Memphis School of Preaching, has a background working in Apologetics, and spent several years in China teaching English and studying the Bible with those who had an interest.

    416 Interview Series with Martin Johnson

    Wayne and Cindy Rodgers sit down with Martin Johnson. He and his wife Julie have been working with the church of Christ in Sandpoint, Idaho, as part of a mission effort for the past 7 years. They are involved heavily in ministry, using YouTube and other ways to reach out to their community. The Johnson family moved to northern Idaho 7 years ago, purchased property, and began living “off-grid” and working toward self-sustainability and showing others how to do so. Many, through their efforts and influence, have obeyed the Gospel.
