Podcast: S1 EP9 How do you balance mission and risk?
Carrie Pither, AIM’s International Crisis Consultant, answers our questions about risk.
Seeing unreached people groups come to a saving knowledge of Jesus is fruit of the body of Christ in action, each using their particular gifts to share the good news of Jesus Christ. That can mean using aviation skills to fly those with a heart for church planting into some of the most inaccessible parts of Africa, it can mean qualified counsellors seeking to support those on the field as they deal with the challenges of life without the support of close friends and family, or it can mean administration and development roles in mobilising offices across the world and regional offices across Africa.
There are so many different elements that contribute to fulfilling the call to see Christ-centred churches across Africa, could share your gifts and skills and become part of the gospel work in Africa?
Carrie Pither, AIM’s International Crisis Consultant, answers our questions about risk.
Jesus makes plain that in this world we will have trouble, face many difficulties, and persecutions too. As we take up our cross and follow Jesus, the world will hate us because we do not belong to this world. And yet Jesus also tells us that we can have peace, for Jesus has overcome the world!
Suffering is one of the most consistent themes of the Bible. We live in a fallen, broken, bleeding world.
