Missionary Talks

Bro. Mike Kelly is a missionary with Rock of Ages Prison Ministry. Though I met Bro. Kelly many years ago, this was the first time we had a chance to talk one on one. I think you will be pleased as I was to find out how passionate he is for the ministry he is involved with. Mike works with the men inside the prisons as well as their families outside helping then come to a personal relationship with the Lord. He also helps educate churches on how they should receive a prisoner recently released from confinement.

Bro. Fred Carlson spoke with me about his 30+ years of involvement in the mission field. He personally served as a missionary pilot and church planter in various countries. Currently he is teaching missions classes in a college setting. In this interview he explains a bit about his ministry on the foreign field and tells about some of the missions classes he teaches. I was surprised, in a good way, by one of his answers to my question about which classes someone should focus on while preparing to be a missionary on a college level.

Harry and Gina Stanley share with the listeners about their planned ministry in England. They will be starting a church after spending some time learning the culture. Both of them stressed in the interview that no matter to whom you are ministering, people are simply people. While people have different cultures and backgrounds, they all need to know about the Savior. Dr. Stanley served many years in the pastorate in the US. Because of their experiences, they were able to share some insight that was helpful to me as a missionary. You can learn more about their ministry at their website.

Rob Willoughby and his family are on deputation to go to the country of Estonia. The Willoughbys are working to get to the field by the end of the year and are excited about getting started in the work. In this episode he talks with us about language learning and some of the culture of Estonia. He shares some facts about the country of Estonia that were rather surprising to me.
