What does it look like when missions becomes more than going somewhere and becomes giving your life to people?

In this episode, Mark sits down with missionary Adam Walz, as he shares an honest and deeply personal look at cross-cultural ministry: learning Mandarin Chinese, facing the realities of culture shock, walking through unexpected heartache, and discovering the demanding, but beautiful work of life-on-life discipleship.

You'll also hear the remarkable story of a young Taiwanese man named Vision, who entered Adam's life as a language teacher and became something far more. His story is a powerful reminder that the goal of missions isn't to make people dependent upon the missionary; it's to make disciples who follow Christ and carry the gospel forward.

And perhaps the greatest lesson Adam has learned along the way? Following Jesus may cost us our comfort, but what we gain in knowing Him is infinitely greater.

Adam Walz and his wife, Ashley, have served as church-planting missionaries in Taiwan for nearly seven years. With a heart for life-on-life discipleship and training national believers, Adam has devoted much of his ministry to building relationships, sharing the gospel, and equipping Taiwanese Christians to carry the work forward. Today, the Walzes are seeing the fruit of that investment as believers they have discipled take greater responsibility in the local church and reach others with the gospel.

• For Vision and the church in Taiwan. Pray for God’s protection and strength as Vision and the other believers continue leading and serving while Adam and Ashley are in the States. Ask God to give them wisdom, unity, and continued opportunities to reach others with the gospel.
• For joy and encouragement. Pray that the believers in Taiwan would find genuine joy in serving Christ and grow in their understanding of just how deeply He loves them, especially as some face real costs for following Jesus.
• For continued discipleship. Pray that God would continue raising up Taiwanese believers who will faithfully make disciples, train others, and carry the work of the gospel forward for generations to come.
• For the Walz children. Adam and Ashley especially ask prayer for their children—Anna, Micah, and Moriah—that each of them would personally come to know Christ and choose to follow Him.
