    Small Shrimp + Big Faith in Honduras, with Jeremy Wainwright – EM278

    Isn't it just like God to use something seemingly small, like shrimp, to make a MASSIVE impact in the Kingdom?

    It might seem like Jeremy Wainwright just suddenly decided to make a change, but really, God was working in his heart long before his friend said, "Would you like to go to Honduras?"

    It didn't take him long to decide that this was the opportunity God was giving him and that trip changed EVERYTHING. Now Jeremy has started Shrimp Matters and is actively working with partners in the United States as well as Honduras to bring sustainable shrimp farming to communities.

    His work, despite the challenges of COVID-19, is making a difference, and he believes that God has more!

    It was exciting to talk with Jeremy and I believe you'll be as encouraged as I was.

    God Does Amazing Things When We Trust and Obey, with Don Armstead – EM276

    Sometimes stepping out in faith can seem scary. Listen as Don Armstead shares how God's shown His faithfulness and providence through years of professional transitions, leading worship, church transitions, and more.

    Full Episode Notes: http://engagingmissions.com/276

    Don's Website: http://dwafm.org

    We all want to see God do amazing thing but sometimes the struggle is in remaining faithful and obedient in the various places God calls us.

    Listen as Don Armstead shares the stories of God’s spectacular faithfulness. From career transitions to allowing God to teach him to play music as a worship leader to navigating church transitions and more, Don has remained faithfully obedient.

    Now, not only does he minister in a local church, he’s able to travel to the Philippines for months at a time, building relationships, ministering, and supporting the Church there with a vision that is expanding from glory to glory to glory.

    When Offerings Have a Face: How to Love the Poor, with Keith Giles – EM269

    The call of Jesus is always more radical than we would like to think. One of His calls throughout the Gospels is to take care of the poor. Keith Giles felt God leading him to serve those in need by starting a house church that gave 100 percent of its offerings to them. For 11 years, Keith has been working in house churches.

    On this episode, Keith shares about the beauty and chaos that comes with house churches. He also talks about realizing full-time ministry can happen in motels and grocery stores, not just church buildings. During the show, he gives many stories of God’s work with those in need. Keith reminds us that Jesus has called us to love our neighbor, especially the poor.
