The Missionary Perspective

We are sometimes asked by supporting pastors what they can do better for their next mission conference. In this episode, Erik and Josh discuss what they enjoy about the mission conference experience from a missionary perspective.

Erik continues his conversation with Pastor Dennis Harry. This time, they discuss how missionaries and pastors can improve their communication.

Dennis Harry is the Pastor of Needham's Grove Baptist Church.

Podcast | Laborers in the Harvest

Erik and Josh discuss the important role food plays in the culture of your host country. 

Matthew and Susanna are preparing to serve the Lord in Côte d'Ivoire with Baptist World Mission. Matthew spent a year working in the country and even picked up the French language along the way. Susanna grew up as an MK in Côte d'Ivoire and looks forward to returning to serve the Lord in her home country.

Dr. Bud Steadman began his ministry as mission mentor on April 1, 2023 after fulfilling the role of executive director of Baptist World Mission beginning April of 2009. Prior to coming to BWM he served for thirteen years as the senior pastor of Community Baptist Church of South Bend, Indiana.

David Edens served for over 40 years in the country of Niger. 

Part One of our interview with Missionary David Edens. David served for over 40 years in Niger.

BIMI missionaries have served in Niger since 1971. This has been one of our most difficult fields, and staunch Moslems that live nomadic lives populate the desert region where our missionaries work. Conversions have been few and far between, but God is beginning to move in an exciting way in this desert country. Bible translation work has been done for years into the Tamajaq language and now it is being broadcast by radio to a possible listening audience of 2 million people. This weekly broadcast is also heard in Nigeria, Libya, Algeria, and Mali, which have extensive Tamajaq-speaking populations.

Many encouraging reports are coming in as a result of these Bible broadcasts and the Bible translation work continues, along with the preaching and teaching of the Word of God in Agadez and surrounding villages. Laborers are desperately needed in this field because it appears God is on the verge of doing something great in this staunch Moslem area. Could it be that God would have you volunteer to reach the Muslim people of Niger?

Josh and Erik are back after 8 months to update their listeners on their family and ministry life. They are excited to be back and are looking forward to sharing more stories and insights with their audience.
