Called To The Far Shore

Revive Internationalthefarshore.podbean.com
What comes to mind when you think of Christian mission? Does it seem intimidating? Does it seem like something someone else should be doing? Is it something that only happens in exotic places? The idea of Christian mission is a simple concept but can feel complex and can be enacted in many different ways. Join Andy and James, founders of Reaviva Brazil and Revive USA, organizations that work with children and teenagers in Brazil who are suffering from abuse, trafficking or exploitation, as they tackle this topic through discussions, interviews, the Bible and a bit of banter.
