Missions Pulse 21: Jonathan and Elizabeth Trotter

1024 576 David Joannes

Did God create us to thrive on mission with Him? Why do we so often feel like we’re barely surviving in our missional callings?

More specifically, how can missionaries overcome the hurdles that inevitably come from cross-cultural ministry and settle into the God-given joy that their Heavenly Father delights to give them?

In this episode of Missions Pulse, David Joannes interviews Jonathan and Elizabeth Trotter, the authors of Serving Well: Help for the Wannabe, Newbie, or Weary Cross-cultural Christian Worker and members of A Life Overseas leadership team.

The Trotters share about their missionary journey, providing encouragement through their life experience in Cambodia.
