For the final episode of our Everywhere to Everywhere podcast series, we bring the conversation home and hear from Pastors Paul Rai and Dan Evenhuis from Citywide Baptist Church in Hobart.
The church has a thriving Nepali congregation that is fully integrated into the heart and leadership of the church community. And with this intercultural emergence of the past 10 years, the church’s local and global mission has grown richly.
In the conversation, Geoff Maddock talks with Paul who is the Nepali congregation Pastor and Dan who is the church’s Executive Pastor. Their journey is an excellent case study and example of how this ‘everywhere to everywhere’ model of mission can take shape at a local Australian church level. They also share some of the simple yet highly relevant ways they are sharing God’s love through practically responding to the needs of the wider migrant and refugee community in Hobart.
Listen for insightful reflections and practical ideas for your own church’s local missional engagement as you seek to love and serve your community.
