Mobilizing Missionaries to Dangerous Places with Anna Hampton
/"The Kingdom of God does not advance when we stay safe." - Anna Hampton
How can we help others navigate the potential dangers of the mission field? Listen to Anna Hampton, who has lived in war-torn Afghanistan, the Middle East, and other dangerous places. She is a global expert on cross-cultural risk and chats with Dave about the theology of risk and how mobilizers can help potential goers overcome their fear of danger.
They specifically discussed the following:
How did you handle the potential dangers before you first went to Afghanistan?
Can you share about a time when you helped a missionary deal with a dangerous situation?
How does the Bible talk about risk?
What does the church need to understand about risk in the context of missions?
How can the church better respond to missionaries who live in dangerous contexts?
What should missionaries do when they face risk?
What advice would you have for mobilizers and pastors to help potential missionaries navigate risk and danger on the field?
