Mending! 4: Responding [Chris and Mal, Outback Australia]

This is the fourth and final episode in our Mending! podcast series.

In this episode, meet Mal and Chris who serve part-time with our Outback Australia team alongside their ministry as Pastors of a Baptist church in Darwin. As Mal and Chris explore the theme of responding, they share the journey of mission and ministry that God has led them on over the past decades.

Throughout this episode, Chris and Mal reflect on God's faithfulness and the opportunities He has opened up to them as they have said "yes" to His leading. They also share about God's patience during the times they have said "no" or "not yet" to His call - including a 14 year period between the initial call and saying "yes".

As you listen to these humble and passionate followers of Jesus, consider how God is inviting you to join with Him in mending a beautiful, broken world. How are you responding?
