The Great Commission in Unreached Areas

In this episode, Adam sits down with Ethan and Daxton to discuss their summer missionary work in remote South Asian villages. They faced challenges sharing the gospel where it’s unheard of, often having to explain Biblical concepts from scratch. Teaching English and building relationships required a good bit of creativity. Even after evangelizing, new believers can experience community backlash.

Despite hardships, Ethan and Daxton say obedience to the Great Commission calls us to go. They encourage us all to participate through prayer, giving, and short-term trips. Though everyone isn’t called to serve abroad long-term, we each have a role in missions.

If you joined us in praying for missionaries this summer, know that you are part of this story.
