Preston and Kim Marino's journey from teenage mission trips to global ministry reveals the transformative power of cross-cultural service.

The couple's first experiences—Preston at a North Dakota Native American reservation and Kim in Guatemala at age 15—planted seeds that would grow into a passion for missions. Their raw descriptions of reservation life paint a stark picture: homes in disrepair, rampant substance abuse, cultural rituals involving painful bone piercings, and pervasive hopelessness manifesting in high suicide rates. Yet within these challenging contexts, they witnessed powerful moments of spiritual breakthrough.

Their ministry expanded to multiple countries including Zambia, Haiti, Guatemala, and Honduras, each presenting unique challenges and remarkable stories. From witnessing a man literally raised from the dead during a service in Zambia to breaking spiritual barriers in Haiti when a young girl received the Holy Spirit despite cultural beliefs it "wasn't for Haitians".

Navigating burning roadblocks during Haitian riots, being stopped at gunpoint by vigilantes in Guatemala, and receiving warnings about targeting gangs in Honduras. These encounters highlight the real costs of answering God's call to "deny what's comfortable" and venture into unfamiliar territory.

Perhaps most relatable are their humorous struggles with cultural differences, from attempting to politely navigate overwhelming food portions to adjusting to three-hour worship services in African churches. As Kim wisely observes, "Blessed are the flexible, for they will not be bent out of shape"—a perfect summary of the mission field mindset.

Once done with our conversation a question is asked. What are you willing to do for God? Whether you're called to overseas ministry or local service, their experiences remind us that following God's will requires sacrifice, flexibility, and courage—but offers the profound reward of participating in His global work and forever expanding your spiritual worldview.

Terry Miles, founder of the SEEK team (Servants Establishing and Equipping Kids), takes us on a powerful journey through children's ministry. With a passionate mission to reach children. Brother Terry and his team bring the Gospel to these kids in other countries and even in the US.

Terry reveals a troubling pattern he's discovered across continents: "It seems like that is a trend in almost every nation that we go to... they leave the kids behind." The SEEK team delivers clear gospel messages to these kids.

The impact is undeniable. We hear moving stories from Honduras, where children broke down in tears during worship. In Taiwan, where Christians represent less than 3% of the population, hundreds of non-believing children enthusiastically participated in gospel activities. Perhaps most striking was the scene in Zambia, where elderly women in their seventies listened to the entire puppet presentation and two accepted Christ afterward.

Brother Terry's voice breaks with emotion when asked what he would say to someone who doesn't believe children's ministry is important: "God told us to bring the little ones to him." Brother Tarry shows his passion for kids ministry and reminds us it's important.

Through simple tools Terry's team creates unforgettable experiences that plant seeds in young hearts and also have reached the adults as well.

Listen to this powerful conversation that will challenge your perspective on children's ministry in global evangelism.

As we journey alongside Jared through mountain villages he paints a picture of believers who walk miles to attend services, worship passionately on concrete floors, and build churches by hand with mud bricks. The contrast between American convenience-oriented faith and the sacrificial dedication he witnessed becomes the powerful backdrop for this eye-opening conversation.

From preaching through interpreters to praying for a bedridden woman who experienced miraculous healing. His candid observations capture both the challenges and profound rewards of stepping beyond comfort zones to participate in God's global work.

In this episode we talk about the conviction that true ministry was never meant to be convenient. When Jesus commanded His followers to "go into all the world," He wasn't suggesting they only go when conditions are ideal or comfortable. Jared's fresh perspective reminds seasoned believers and curious newcomers alike that sometimes the most transformative spiritual experiences happen when we're willing to embrace discomfort for a greater purpose.

Ready to examine your own faith through a new lens? This conversation might just challenge you to reconsider what you're willing to sacrifice to follow Jesus' call. The fields truly are white with harvest – will you be among those who answer the call, regardless of the inconvenience it might bring?

Dray and Thaddaeus journey in missions took them to mountain villages. These two along with the rest of the team that went witnessed in the Mountains of Honduras through kids ministry. On this podcast we get to here these twos side of there experiences.

The most profound ministry moments weren't always during the polished performances. At one church, what initially felt like did not go well with unresponsive children and a struggling interpreter became divine orchestration. Their message about resisting temptation profoundly impacted an X alcoholic at the back of the room who was battling. God had appointed this "unsuccessful" service specifically for him.

The emotional pinnacle came during their final day at a mountain Catholic school. Here team members connected deeply with children despite the language barrier. They communicated Christ's love leaving children openly weeping.

This episode powerfully illustrates how effective ministry happens when we are willing to be used by God even when circumstances seem imperfect. Want to see these missions in action?
