Summary

In Episode 9 of Reasonable Talk, Amanda Jarvis sits down with Chris Martin, Doug & Karol Snook, and Ben Orchard to reflect on their recent mission trips earlier this summer.

Chris shares how local churches in Thailand and Vietnam are flourishing in remote mountain villages, the joy of hearing children’s voices call the community to worship, and the sobering reality of pastors in Vietnam shepherding multiple congregations with very few resources.

Ben, Doug, and Carol then recount their time in the Balkans and Northern Ireland. including the Gospel Workers Gathering, the deep loneliness and isolation many pastors and their wives face, and the complex mix of cultural religion, post-communist history, and lingering ethnic tensions.
