About this episode
Pastor Wendell Vinson discusses how churches can address significant global issues through community service and local engagement.
Pastor Wendell Vinson has been in ministry for over 40 years and he's still passionate that it can solve problems the world often simply can't. He's the co-founder and president of the non-profit CityServe Network, an organization that resources local churches to serve it's communities. And they, he believes, are the best placed to do just that. In this episode of Babel Undone he talks about how churches can be hubs for food distribution or relief for areas in the war torn places like Ukraine and how development agencies and NGOs don't know the on-the-ground needs like a local church does.
