## Resource

What happens when God invites you to see His mission beyond the borders you’ve known—to witness His Spirit moving in places you’ve only heard about? This week on Advancing the Mission, I sit down with Pastor Troy Jones, our Student Ministries Pastor, as we join from Interlaken, Switzerland, where we’ve been part of the 3WLN Conference. Here, we’ve had the chance to connect with leaders from across Europe and the Middle East, hearing stories of renewal, perseverance, and hope in some of the most spiritually complex regions of the world. In this conversation, Troy shares what it’s been like to see God at work on a global scale—the faith it takes to trust God’s movement in unfamiliar contexts, and how those encounters are shaping the way we lead and disciple students back home. It’s a conversation about perspective, calling, and the reminder that God’s mission is bigger—and closer—than we often imagine. You’ll be inspired to look outward, to listen deeper, and to believe again that God is moving everywhere His people are willing to go.
