Missions with Carl Waldron

February 19, 2020 • Mike Sotski

Many times when we think of missions the image that comes to mind is heading out to some far off country and learning to live in a place that is much different than where we call home. We often think that we bring with us resources, expertise and methods that will be able to address all the problems in the place we find ourselves. In this episode of Shop Talk we are joined by Carl Waldron (Executive director of Hopeshares Canada) to talk about a changing view of missions and how we can begin to approach the topic with a new lens in place.
