Using the Arts in Missions
This week is missions conference at Moody Bible Institute, and you're going to hear from three guests who'll talk about everything from Bible translation to ethnomusicology, as well as the role of the arts in mission work in Africa, Russia, and beyond. How do they see God on the move around the world and how can we be part of His work? Let's talk about it on Chris Fabry Live.
