In this episode of the More Disciples Podcast, our hosts were joined by guests Travis and Mark to discuss their work with diaspora communities, particularly focusing on immigrants and refugees in Louisville, Kentucky. The episode covered various topics, including how they got started, the obstacles they faced, the strategies they used, and the successes they experienced in building relationships and sharing the gospel. They shared about their approach in making these connections, in which they emphasized being flexible, showing love, and spending time with these communities. They also highlighted the need for more co-workers in this field, as many refugees are still in need of help. The discussion ended with a prayer for more workers and for those displaced worldwide.
