Hey everybody! This week I interview Zach. He and his wife are church planters in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul has a population of 14-17 million people. Zach was involved with YWAM before he went to LIFE Pacific College. At a young age Zach felt a call to reach Muslims in the Middle East. He began to pray for every country in the Middle East, except for Turkey. He didn’t necessarily think of Turkey as part of the Middle East. While sitting in LA traffic he almost flippantly asked God where he was supposed to be. God finally answered with “Istanbul.” When Zach heard Istanbul, he wasn’t sure where it came from. Zach asked God to give him a passion for the city if this was truly from Him. He and his wife moved there 8 years ago. They have planted a church in Istanbul and have a desire to see more churches planted in the country of Turkey. Turkey is a country of 76 million people, and there are only 5,000 Protestant Christians. It is one of the least reached countries in the world. I hope this interview stirs in you a desire to pray for the people of Turkey!

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), this week we are re-broadcasting this interview with Foursquare Missionary to Ireland Tim O’Toole. Enjoy!
Hey everybody! This week I interview Tim O’Toole. He and his wife Kristina are missionaries with Foursquare Missions to the beautiful country of Ireland. When God put Ireland on their hearts, they were not sure where they would be going. On a visit to Ireland, God directed them to Galway, the third largest city in Ireland and God is doing amazing things. They are using Serve the City to love on the people of Galway and meet the needs of their city.

Hey everybody! This week I have a special treat. I interview Sam Johnson, Foursquare Missions International overseer to MENACA (Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia), a predominantly Muslim region. When Sam was in Bible College, he discovered that the vast majority of resources were going towards ministries where Christianity was already established. He felt the call to reach the Muslim people. So he took a year off between his Junior and Senior year to “test the waters” and see if it was the right fit. He’s been working with Muslims since the 1980’s. In the region that Sam works .001% of the population are Evangelical Christian. In this interview we cover a simple way to spread the gospel with foreign college students, practical tips on how to reach out to your Muslim neighbors now, and how we can address our prejudices towards a people group.

Hey everybody! This week I interview Ken and Linda Stapleton. They have been in the Czech Republic for 17 years now. For about 20 years before they became full-time missionaries, they had the sense they were to be on the missions field. They always felt it would be Latin America, but God changed their course. He asked them both separately while on a short time missions trip to the Czech Republic, “why are you doing this part-time, and not full-time?” Two years later they moved to the Czech Republic. God’s doing amazing things through this couple.
If you wish to contact the Stapleton’s you can email them directly at czmates@gmail.com, Visit The CzechMates Ministry Facebook, or Ken and Linda‘s personal Facebook, as well as their YouTube channel. If you wish to financial support their missions work, visit FMI Give Site.

Hey everybody! This week I interview Adam Hartel. He and his wife Sarah are missionaries to Amsterdam, Netherlands. The post-modern and post-Christian mindset is encapsulated in Amsterdam. Because of this, Adam and Sarah have been working in the Netherlands to build bridges between the Church and the surrounding communities with common spaces and environments that don’t exist in normal schedules. We also discuss the transition the Hartel family is entering into next month.
If you want to get in touch with Adam & Sarah, check out their website here.
