Shownotes
God has a way of teaching us how to love others, even when it’s messy. James Sharp joins in to talk about how God has shown him that lesson and where God is leading him in ministry. Over the next few years, he plans on partnering with a ministry to spread the Gospel in a creative access country in Asia.
James has been ministering in Nicaragua for some time now, and he looks forward to following God’s open door to Asia. In the episode, he shares about his ministry experiences and what he looks forward to in this next step of ministry.
