Go Beyond | Zoom In with Annie Friesen, Macey Hutto, Lily Jiang, and Josh Sujo (Ep. 226)
What does it look like to step into education as missions for six weeks in the summer? Hear from four students who participated in Go Beyond – how they got connected at TeachBeyond at Urbana Missions Conference, what it looked like to step out of their comfort zones while far from home, and how they grew as they lived out the gospel. God is at work throughout the whole world, and we have the opportunity to step into opportunities to partner with Him in what He is doing.
