Welcome back to Missionary Roundtable! In this episode I talk to Blade Sbisa, church planter to St. Louis, Missouri. Blade and his family are sent out of Living Faith in Lee's Summit, which was a church plant of Midtown Baptist Temple in Kansas City. I talk with Blade about what it is like being on a church planting team, and how a team member can serve and assist the pastor of the church plant. We also talk about those who may desire to be a part of a church plant or a new work, but don't feel called to be a pastor, and what their role can be. And, Blade shares how his experiences in serving on a church planting team have equipped and prepared him to plant a new church in St. Louis.   If you would like to learn more about Blade's family and their plan to plant a church in St. Louis, or give to support them, or invite them to share at your church, you can learn more about them and contact them here: Website www.lfstl.church   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/livingfaithstl https://www.facebook.com/blade.sbisa     New episodes are now released whenever available, not in a seasonal format.

Welcome back to Missionary Roundtable! In this episode I talk to Vinnie Nigro. He and his wife Meghan are missionaries to Kosovo, currently on the deputation and fundraising trail. Vinnie's story is one of redemption--from the jail cell, to salvation, to the mission field. Vinnie and Meghan spent a year in Albania as part of a missions internship. We will talk about how God brought him to that point, and how God used that internship to further equip and prepare him for the mission they are getting ready to do now.

Welcome back to Missionary Roundtable! In this episode I talk to James Fyffe, former missionary and current pastor and professor at Midtown Baptist Temple and Living Faith Bible Institute in Kansas City, MO. In addition to English, James speaks Spanish and Urdu. Sometimes the topic of language learning can seem a bit mysterious to new and prospective missionaries. We try bring you behind the scenes by comparing some of the differences in strategies when learning different languages, and what kind of expectations missionaries should have when beginning language school on the field. We share our own stories of victory and failure, and also talk about some language logistics like CEFR levels (A1, A2, B1...etc.)    New episodes are now released whenever available, not in a seasonal format.

Thomas and his family are being sent out from his home church to plant a church in Portland, Oregon.

Welcome back to Missionary Roundtable! In this episode, I sit down with Erion & Jonida Vogli to get an update on the Albanian Bible translation project. The conversation gets much deeper than that, as we glean interesting information on the individual words that God uses throughout scripture. Erion tells us why a "word-level" translation is important, versus a "verse-level" translation. We also learn how a foreign language Bible translation can be faithful and accurate, yet still lack depth and precision. And, most importantly, why your philosophy on God's promise to preserve His words forever matters, first and foremost, before you ever start translating the scriptures.    New episodes are now released whenever available, not in a seasonal format.

Welcome to Season 3 Finale of Missionary Roundtable! In this episode, Kale is joined by Pastor Matt Braucher. Matt is the Pastor of Northside Baptist Church in Columbus, Ohio--which is a church plant sent out by First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia, Ohio. Matt shares his story of faithfully serving in church for many years while working as an engineer, and always just seeking to take the next step in his walk with God. Matt was discipled and trained at his home church, and served as an associate pastor on staff before being sent out to plant Northside Baptist Church. Matt's story is an encouragement to anyone seeking to be used by God, who may feel like they don't always have a clear path laid out in front of them. Ultimately, the question for every Christian at any point in his or her life is this: What is your next step?   Northside Baptist Church website: http://northsidecolumbus.church/     Missionary Roundtable is hosted and produced by Kale Horvath.

Times of transition are not always thought of as positive, but Jeff shares how healthy life & ministry transitions can help us serve God more effectively.      Missionary Roundtable is hosted and produced by Kale Horvath.
