Session 6: "Fathering a Pioneer Mission Ministry" - Greg Livingstone

In this message, Greg Livingstone shares his experiences of fathering and being fathered, at home and abroad, for the glory of God.

Greg wasn't fathered by his biological father. He never knew him. But he was fathered by his brothers in Christ. And now he is the father, not only of his biological sons, but of countless missionaries and Muslims also.

Who are you fathering? We can each multiply our lives through those around us and those in the far corners of the world (2 Timothy 2:2). God's will is that you be a "both-and" pastor, not "either-or." We are called to be his witness in both Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).
