Independent Baptist Missions

Spiritual Leadership with Dr. Paul Chappell

I recently sat down with one of my greatest friends and mentors, Dr. Don Sisk to talk about a subject we are both passionate about—world-wide missions. I consider Dr. Sisk to be one of the greatest spokesmen in our generation for Baptist missions. We talked about his journey from the Southern Baptist convention’s cooperative missions program. He tells why he left that movement and the strengths he sees in the independent Baptist model of directly supporting missionaries.

Dr. Sisk also talked about the great need for pastors and parents to encourage young people to consider serving Christ as a missionary. Jesus had one prayer request—laborers for the harvest. We talked about the 10/40 window and the opportunity we have to influence that region for Christ through Spiritual Leadership Asia.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Bro. Sisk, and I believe this episode will be an encouragement to you as well.
