Rethinking Mission in the Middle East: A Conversation With Brian Heerwagen

Description

Brian Heerwagen, CEO of MissionWorks, joins The Fares Abraham Podcast for a thought-provoking conversation on rethinking mission and partnership in the Middle East.


Together, Brian and Fares unpack how the gospel rises above politics, why effective partnership resists bias, and how ordinary believers—not just “spiritual giants”—are called to live sent where they are. Brian also shares insights from his decades of leadership, including how mentoring the next generation, allowing room to fail, and focusing on transformation over activity can reshape the church’s mission.


If you care about unity in a divided world, the call to everyday mission, and seeing the church move from programs to people, this episode will both challenge and inspire you.
