It's been a little over 6 months since I published the most recent episode of the Engaging Missions Show. When we started 2020, I let you know that I was going to publish "when I could" and so far, I haven't.

Here's what's going on, what's planned, and a few resources in case you need to fill the void I've created by not publishing:

• Other podcasts about missions and church planting
• Global Missions Podcast
• Voice of the Martyrs Radio
