Missions Pulse 1: Kanita Benson

1024 576 David Joannes

Oftentimes, there seems to be a polarization between local outreach and global missions. This dichotomy can be a difficult hurdle for local churches, pastors, leaders, and believers to overcome. The natural tendency is to influence or impact people within one’s own context or sphere of influence.

In light of Jesus’ Great Commission command—Go therefore and make disciples of all nations—what should be our response to the Great Commission command both in and beyond our borders?

In this episode of Missions Pulse, David Joannes interviews Kanita Benson about embracing a glocal mission mindset. Kanita is a Christian artist and worship leader, a cross-cultural missions ministry leader at her church, staff at American Bible Society, and the founder of She Saves a Nation.
