Missionary Talks

Rob Willoughby and his family are on deputation to go to the country of Estonia. The Willoughbys are working to get to the field by the end of the year and are excited about getting started in the work.

In this episode he talks with us about language learning and some of the culture of Estonia. He shares some facts about the country of Estonia that were rather surprising to me.

Elisabeth Carney moved to the US after spending her teenage years in Argentina. In this interview she talks about some of the adjustments she had to make when she returned to the US. She experienced a bit of reverse culture shock.

When I interviewed Elisabeth for this program I talked with her about being a Missionary Kid. She and her husband currently serve on the mission field in Mexico.

I am going to be reposting some older interviews. This interview was originally posted as Missionary Talks 08: Tammy Allred. It is by far the most downloaded interview and a personal favorite of mine.

As mentioned in a recent feedback episode, I will be traveling over the next several weeks. I am excited about the missionaries I will be interviewing while on the road. But, as a result, I will probably not be able to get new interviews uploaded until I get home. Enjoy these older episodes in the mean time and leave a comment if you have a particular favorite episode that you would like me to share with the other listeners.

In this episode I speak with Brad Rhoads a missionary working with Learning Technologies at MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship). Currently he is raising his support to start his ministry with MAF. He tells us in the interview about how God led him into missions and specifically to MAF. There were obstacles to overcome, but God has been gracious in leading the Rhoads family in His will.

Brad’s ministry as a missionary is a bit different. He will not be working in the field as a church planter, rather he will be working as a developer of methods to deliver Bible study curriculum to national pastors on the field in both free and closed access countries.

Brad mentioned his podcast in the interview. It is a chronicle of his family’s journey into missions.

You can partner with the Rhoads family in their ministry by visiting their website at MAF.
