It's hard to believe that India, now the most populated country in the world, is home to 1.43 billion people! After gaining so much insight into the life of Amy Carmichael, who was a missionary to India during the late 1800's to the mid 1900's (Episode 27), I found myself wanting to learn what the country is like in our modern era.

I invited Dr. Kevin and Lisa Dinwiddie to tell us all about their Indian experiences while they participated in a combined total of 17 mission trips. Because of their medical experience and their love for the Lord, they were used by God to help the wounded in body and soul. I pray that our discussion spurs you on to simply obey the Lord. He loves to multiply our "loaves and fishes."

What an impact a life sold out for Christ can make! Amy Carmichael was a premier example. Because of her, over a thousand Indian children were saved from trafficking, a slavery that was driven by idol worship. Learn how the Lord led her lovingly and how she followed enthusiastically.

I've referenced our story in multiple episodes, but I've never told it. It felt like the right time to share, but I couldn't do so without my husband, Jason. So, I invited him back on to do just that. As you listen, I pray that you are pointed to the One who inspired us to press on through the trials we endured during 2020-2023.

Join me for my interview with Tim Keesee, the founder and executive director of Frontline Missions International. We discussed his most recent book, A Day's Journey: Stories of Hope and Death-Defying Joy. The Lord used His battle with terminal cancer to guide the themes of this book.

Tim has travelled to over one hundred countries for the sake of encouraging churches who are on the frontlines of the Gospel. Find out what he learned about God and the Gospel along the way. I know you will be encouraged as Tim points to the Shepherd who has guided and loved him all of his days.
