"The Kingdom of God does not advance when we stay safe." - Anna Hampton
How can we help others navigate the potential dangers of the
mission field? Listen to Anna Hampton, who has lived in war-torn
Afghanistan, the Middle East, and other dangerous places. She is a
global expert on cross-cultural risk and chats with Dave about the
theology of risk and how mobilizers can help potential goers
overcome their fear of danger.
They specifically discussed the following:
Show Notes:
- How did you handle the potential dangers before you first went to Afghanistan?
- Can you share about a time when you helped a missionary deal with a dangerous situation?
- How does the Bible talk about risk?
- What does the church need to understand about risk in the context of missions?
- How can the church better respond to missionaries who live in dangerous contexts?
- What should missionaries do when they face risk?
- What advice would you have for mobilizers and pastors to help potential missionaries navigate risk and danger on the field?
