Episode 7: Sam George on Justice in Global Missions

How can we approach global missions in a way that is just, peaceful, and whole? Why should Asian American Christians care about justice within global missions? Raymond Chang and Michelle Reyes sit down with Sam George, Director of Global Diaspora Institute at Wheaton College Billy Graham Center and Catalyst for Diasporas for the Lausanne Movement. They talk about a Biblical framework for justice in missions, stories of notable Asian American missionaries who declared the gospel in word and deed, and practical ways we can work toward a more just approach to missions.
