This week on the Everyday Eurasia Podcast, we’re taking a closer look at Jesus Film Harvest Partners. This project shows how even a small step in sharing the Gospel can have a profound impact on people’s lives. But it doesn’t stop there. As people encounter Jesus, their lives are transformed — and they, in turn, encourage and inspire others. It’s a story of faith, transformation, and the powerful way one small act can create a ripple effect that reaches far beyond what we can see. Let’s take a closer look. Today we will listen to: Casey McDorman, he serves as the regional Church Planting and Evangelism coordinator. He serves alongside his wife Jamie who is the regional Projects and Systems assistant. They pastored Churches for 30 years before moving to Eurasia.

This week on the Everyday Eurasia podcast, we turn our attention to “The Cause” — a new initiative inviting young people to discover what it means to be part of the mission field of our Church. But behind the initiative lies a bigger question: What is the role of young people in mission? And, perhaps even more importantly, how can the Church come alongside them — helping them recognise, explore, and respond to that calling? In today’s episode, we take a closer look at The Cause, and at the young people who are beginning to ask what their place in mission might look like. Today we will listen to: Esteban Juan Alcantara, Esteban serves as a missionary, coordinating the ministries of Mobilisation and The Cause for the Eurasia Region.
