Engaging Missions

Isn't it just like God to use something seemingly small, like shrimp, to make a MASSIVE impact in the Kingdom? It might seem like Jeremy Wainwright just suddenly decided to make a change, but really, God was working in his heart long before his friend said, "Would you like to go to Honduras?" It didn't take him long to decide that this was the opportunity God was giving him and that trip changed EVERYTHING. Now Jeremy has started Shrimp Matters and is actively working with partners in the United States as well as Honduras to bring sustainable shrimp farming to communities. His work, despite the challenges of COVID-19, is making a difference, and he believes that God has more! It was exciting to talk with Jeremy and I believe you'll be as encouraged as I was.

Think Christianity is boring? The call of Jesus is always more radical than we would like to think. Listen as Keith shares about the beauty and chaos that comes with house churches and motels.

The call of Jesus is always more radical than we would like to think. One of His calls throughout the Gospels is to take care of the poor. Keith Giles felt God leading him to serve those in need by starting a house church that gave 100 percent of its offerings to them. For 11 years, Keith has been working in house churches. On this episode, Keith shares about the beauty and chaos that comes with house churches. He also talks about realizing full-time ministry can happen in motels and grocery stores, not just church buildings. During the show, he gives many stories of God’s work with those in need. Keith reminds us that Jesus has called us to love our neighbor, especially the poor.
