Season Recap and Favorite Moments

In this episode, Nathan, Kara, Andy and Marcus connect with Ann, a worker from the Middle East. One challenge of following Jesus to the nations is leaving family. On the flipside most missionaries speak of the surprising joy of gaining family when they go. In this episode we sit down with Ann as she shares amazing stories with incredible lessons. Ann shares a bit of how this California girl found herself on the cobblestone streets of Central Eurasia and how God surrounded her family with family that proved to be invaluable as she walked through one of the darkest seasons of her life. Purchase Ann’s book, Dying Out Loud, and take time to message someone in your family to encourage them.  Find out more info: chialphacoffee.com info@welivemissions.com welivemissions.com Ann’s book on MyHealthy Church:  https://myhealthychurch.com/store/startitem.cfm?item=500177&cat=AGMHCINDEX&mastercat=&path=AGMHCINDEX Follow us on instagram! @welivemissions

We Live Missions LIVE!

In this episode, Nathan, Kara, Andy and Brian connect with world missionaries Ryan and Jenny Elliff serving in Lithuania. In the journey of following Jesus, we may have course changes. It might not make sense to us, but God sees the bigger picture and can bring us to things far greater than we can imagine. Course changes are not always course corrections. Course changes may be positioning you for what God has for you next. Check out chialphacoffee.com and subscribe to the coffee box to hear more of Ryan and Jenny’s story and hear about the BELLS initiative. Take some time to pray today - pray for the Elliffs, their ministry in Lithuania and more workers!
