Raising the stars for the kingdom feat. Lindsay Brown (IFES/Lausanne)

"This is Our Tribe!" by Global mobilization Network

“If you want to change the world, start with the university” - Martin Luther
Raised in Wales by his grandmother who is a devout Christian, Lindsay experienced first-hand the life of a believer. He himself came to know the Lord through his local youth group. He shares of his enriching cross-cultural exposures at university and then at OM Logos, a mission vessel, where he
spent 1 year in the continent of Africa. His enriching campus life prompted him to experience the
importance of student ministry, to nurture the next generation, and the significant impact of the
gospel to international students. In the pandemic-affected world, new technology arises quickly,
replacing ‘traditional’ methods of advancing the gospel. However, Lindsay warns his listeners to
stand firm on keeping personal connections with another, personal witnessing and public
proclamation is vital, in conjunction with the use of technology. This episode is sure to leave you with gems from the open and honest conversations with Lindsay and Ray.
