Episode 264: Lautaro Churuvija, Steiger International (Part 2)
What does it take to reach a generation that has little interest in church—but is still searching for hope, purpose, and truth? This week on Advancing the Mission, we begin a special two-part conversation with Lautaro Churuvija from Steiger International, one of County Line Church's newest ministry partners. Steiger exists to mobilize followers of Jesus to reach the global youth culture—especially young adults who would never consider walking into a church. In Part 1, Lautaro shares his incredible testimony of how God radically transformed his life and called him into missionary work. From his own journey of faith to serving young people around the world, his story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. In Part 2, we take a deeper look at the mission of Steiger and why their approach is so needed in today's culture. Lautaro explains the unique challenges of reaching young adults who are skeptical of faith, disconnected from the Church, or simply uninterested in traditional ministry. Together, we discuss why the Church must be willing to go where people are, build authentic relationships, and communicate the gospel in ways that connect with those who have never experienced it. One of the central themes of this conversation is developing a heart for people who are far from God. We explore what it means to allow God to break our hearts for the lost, why compassion must lead us into action, and how every follower of Jesus can become more intentional about sharing the hope of the gospel in everyday life. Whether you're passionate about evangelism, interested in global missions, or simply asking how the Church can better reach the next generation, this conversation will encourage and challenge you to see the lost the way Jesus does.

This week on Advancing the Mission, we begin a special two-part conversation with Glen Robinson, the newest pastor on staff at County Line Church, serving as our Pastor of Church Multiplication. In Part 1, we get to know Glen's story—his journey of faith, ministry experiences, and the path God used to bring him to County Line.

Episode 260: Leo Ackon (International Justice Mission)
What does it look like to confront some of the darkest forms of injustice in the world while holding onto hope that lasting change is possible? This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Leo from the International Justice Mission (IJM) to discuss the global fight against human trafficking, modern slavery, and violence against vulnerable people. Together, we explore how IJM works alongside local authorities and justice systems to rescue victims, bring perpetrators to justice, and help communities build safer futures. Leo shares his personal journey to IJM, including how growing up in Ghana and learning about the legacy of slavery at Elmina Castle shaped his passion for justice. We discuss some of the most common misconceptions about human trafficking, why many people believe the issue is distant from their lives, and the reality that exploitation continues to impact millions of people around the world today. One of the key themes of this conversation is the power of partnership. Leo explains how IJM's model focuses not only on rescuing victims but also on strengthening local justice systems so that communities can better protect vulnerable people long after individual cases are resolved. We talk about the challenges of working in complex cultural environments, the importance of advocacy, and the role everyday people can play in creating change. Leo also shares practical ways individuals can get involved in the fight against human trafficking through prayer, awareness, advocacy, and support for organizations working on the front lines. We discuss IJM's ambitious goal of helping protect hundreds of millions of people from violence and exploitation by 2030 and why systemic change is essential to achieving that vision.

Episode 259: Agape Faith United
What happens when people from dozens of nations, cultures, and church backgrounds come together in a foreign country, seeking community, purpose, and a deeper relationship with God? This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Pastor Kenneth, founder of Agape Faith United in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Kenneth shares his remarkable journey from Cameroon to Russia, Ukraine, and ultimately Bulgaria, where God led him to start a ministry focused on reaching international students studying far from home. Together, we explore the unique opportunities and challenges of ministering to a diverse community of students from across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Kenneth discusses how Agape Faith United has become a spiritual home for many students through weekly Bible studies, worship gatherings, choir rehearsals, and Sunday services, which foster both faith and a sense of belonging. One of the key themes of this conversation is the power of unity amid diversity. Kenneth shares how the ministry navigates cultural and denominational differences by creating space for every voice to be heard and by leading with love and respect. We talk about the importance of building bridges across backgrounds and how the gospel creates a deeper bond than culture, nationality, or tradition ever could. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful reminder from Kenneth’s own ministry journey: there is always potential in any given situation. No matter where someone finds themselves spiritually, God is still at work, writing new chapters and inviting people into His greater story.

Episode 258: Interview with Nate and Stacy Tatman
What does it look like to follow Jesus in places where faith is a minority voice, churches are often small, and cultural assumptions about Christianity are very different from what many of us experience in the United States? This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Nate and Stacy Tatman, regional coordinators for Three Worlds serving across Europe and the Middle East from their home base in Madrid, Spain. Together, we explore the realities of ministry in a region spanning 14 countries, where evangelical Christians make up less than 4% of the population, and many church leaders serve as volunteers or bivocational pastors. Nate and Stacy share how Three Worlds works to create connection, foster innovation, and resource local leaders as they navigate unique cultural and ministry challenges. We discuss what it means to serve in places where Christianity is often viewed as a historical institution rather than a vibrant, life-changing faith, and why relational ministry remains at the heart of effective gospel work. One of the key themes of this conversation is the importance of partnership. The Tatmans explain how team-based ministry strengthens local churches, why understanding cultural differences matters, and how believers around the world express their faith in ways that can both challenge and enrich our own perspectives. We also talk about the lessons they’ve learned through years of missionary service, including how living cross-culturally has expanded their understanding of the global Church and deepened their appreciation for the many ways God is at work among different peoples and cultures. It’s a conversation about partnership, cultural humility, and discovering the beauty of God’s kingdom through the lens of the worldwide Church.

Episode 257: Zach and Audrey Langford
What happens when we stop trying to control the outcome, step out in obedience, and make room for God to work powerfully through our lives? This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Zach and Audrey Langford, missionaries serving in Birkenhead, UK. Together, we explore what ministry looks like in a post-Christian culture and how building genuine relationships has become one of the most important ways people encounter Jesus. Zach and Audrey share what it’s like serving in a culture where many people have little connection to church or faith, and how relational ministry creates opportunities for meaningful conversations and authentic community. We discuss the challenges and beauty of stepping into a different culture, learning to listen well, and trusting God to work in people’s lives in His timing. One of the key themes of this conversation is the importance of simple obedience — allowing God to do the transforming work while we faithfully invest in relationships with others. We talk about what happens when we step outside of our comfort zones, how God often meets us in unfamiliar places, and why experiencing another culture can deepen both our faith and our understanding of the global Church. It’s a conversation about trust, relationships, and discovering how God moves when we make ourselves available to Him.
