Join podcast host Managing Editor Marsha Robinson as we end the month of April with a roundtable discussion of this month’s White Wing Messenger. You will hear from three leaders in the Church of God of Prophecy—Dr. Bishop Shaun McKinley, executive director of Global Communications, Debbie Freeman, registrar for Spirit and Life Seminary, and Bishop Todd Bagley, executive assistant for Finance and Administration as well as Heritage Ministries coordinator—as they share favorite missionary and mission field stories. They discuss questions like:

“What is your first memory of a missionary or missionary story?”

“What’s the most unexpected thing that’s ever happened to you while serving or visiting the mission field?”

“If you could bring one cultural experience from the mission field into every church, what would it be?”

Listen in to this stirring discussion that ended with a powerful prayer and the final question, “If you had five minutes to call any missionary you’ve ever met, who would you call and what would you say?” It is a truly inspiring conversation.
