MISSIONS: The Joyful Side of a Life Laid Down

A 16-year-old persecuted Christian girl in the Himalayas would crawl to gather with other believers for worship and Bible study. In spite of suffering and persecution, she would not stop sharing the gospel!

That's just one story you'll hear this week in the second half of our conversation with Andy Byrd. He's part of the leadership team of Youth With a Mission in Kona, Hawaii, and also leads The Send, an international event to motivate Christians to share the gospel.

Byrd has spent significant time in the Himalayas—"the roof of the world"—and says the impact of the Word of God is beyond what we could imagine in countries like Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet.

He'll also tell how COVID opened doors for the gospel and helped people—both Christian and non-believers—focus on what really matters, and what sources truly give hope.

Finally, Andy will advise people—at any age—feeling called to missions, and equip listeners to pray for God's work overseas.

You can register now to be among the first to get registration and ticket information for The Send, happening next summer in Kansas City. If you missed the first half of our conversation with Andy, you can listen to it here.
