What if this is the moment that defines the mission future of the Global Methodist Church? Brian Scott believes revival starts not with strategy, but surrender—and that it’s time to step into something greater.

In this candid conversation, Brian Scott, missions coordinator for the Mississippi West Tennessee Conference of the Global Methodist Church, shares his powerful journey from pastoral ministry to international missions in Honduras, and back again. He outlines a bold vision for missions rooted in biblical foundations, prayer, and grassroots mobilization. Key themes include:

• The Mission DNA of the Church: Moving beyond maintenance-mode and reclaiming the movement of the Holy Spirit.
• Local Empowerment: Encouraging churches to act without waiting for top-down directives.
• Collaborative Models: Connecting churches and forming district-level catalysts for shared mission work.
• Global Partnerships: Developing mission relationships with churches in the Philippines and closed-access nations.
• Getting On the Same Page Conference: an introduction to GMC missions.
• Invitation to Action: A call for every believer and congregation to step out in faith, empowered by prayer and guided by the Spirit.

This is more than an organizational update—it’s a rallying cry for the Church to awaken, unite, and go.

A young boy flees through the jungle. A mother makes an unthinkable decision. Years later, a voice emerges—not just of survival, but of purpose. This episode will challenge what you think you know about faith, trauma, and what it means to be truly welcomed.

Karamba, a member of Christ Church and former refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, shares his harrowing story of civil war, personal loss, and the long road to safety through Uganda and eventually to Memphis. Told with deep honesty, his testimony is one of unimaginable trauma, resilient faith, and God’s redeeming power through weakness. From walking barefoot in the jungle to playing football at East High, and now studying to become a nurse with dreams of opening a clinic in a refugee camp, Karamba’s journey reveals the Gospel at work through suffering, community, and calling. This is not just a story of escape—it’s a story of mission.

What Is a Ministry Team? And Why Your Church Needs One

Tired of serving solo? Discover how ministry teams are reshaping mission at Christ Methodist—building deeper relationships, growing spiritual passion, and answering God's call to serve with, not for.

At Christ Methodist, ministry is shifting from isolated volunteerism to team-based mission rooted in Scripture and shaped by shared passion. Inspired by Jesus sending disciples two-by-two, ministry teams are forming around ten key focus areas—from refugee care to church planting—inviting members to pray, learn, and serve together. These teams foster spiritual growth, build real community, and move people from availability-based serving to heart-level commitment. Whether your passion is global or local, there's a place for you to lead or follow—and it starts with simply showing up.
