Community and Accountability on the Mission Field - EP181

About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges of maintaining community and accountability for missionaries in contexts with limited access to healthy church communities.

Missions poses a unique challenge to believers in that those who are sent both have a felt need for biblical community but also are being sent into a context where that kind of community sometimes does not exist. The question becomes, how do missionaries maintain spiritual health and biblical community while serving in a context with little to no access to healthy church community? On this episode of The Sent Life, Scott and Keelan talk about community and accountability on the mission field. Thanks for tuning in to The Sent Life! We love hearing from our listeners.
