What if missionaries could be well-resourced instead of just surviving day-to-day? 👀 In this episode, we flip the script on a question too few of us ask: What if money wasn’t a barrier to multiplying impact on the mission field? Today on the Watch Missions Live Podcast, we dive honestly into stewardship, provision, and the paradox of wealth in missions — not as a distraction from the Gospel, but as a tool for multiplying it. We explore how financial resources can allow God’s servants to serve more deeply, more widely, and with greater sustainability. We talk real-world encouragement, hard questions, and what it looks like when God’s provision meets faithful obedience. Whether you’ve been wrestling with finances in ministry, wondering how to steward well, or dreaming about deeper impact, this conversation will expand your view of what God can do through faithful stewardship. ------------------------- 🎧 Prefer video?

What happens when worship sounds like home? What if obedience means creating something that’s never existed before? In this episode of the Watch Missions Live Podcast, Mixtan Srisombat shares her journey of creating original worship music in the Thai language—music shaped by culture, prayer, and deep trust in God’s leading.

Aaron Jennings and his wife Andrea quit their jobs, sold their houses, got married and left the country as full time missionaries. They spent a month at an orphanage in Kitale Kenya, lived in a bamboo hut in south Thailand not raising funds for anything and God provided everything they needed . We weren’t starving and sacrificing the perceived American Dream to submit to God’s call! Over time realizing they had all these awesome stories, and Godcidence (God + Coincidence = Godcidence) we wanted to tell people but the only people hearing them were immediate family and a few people they met along the way. Then he started to realize a lot of the people were interested but would listen from a distance and try not to be to involved. Come to find out, it was because we were missionaries and a lot of missionaries raise money to do what they do. So if they got to involved in our conversation and lives, they were afraid we would ask for money and they would feel bad about not giving. As a missionary, you experience so many amazing things as God provides and all you want to do is tell the world how Awesome God is but your reach only goes so far because there’s an invisible financial barrier between God’s miracles and the world. So how do we extend our reach? Fast forward 7 years...Aaron is a systems and strategy coach leveraging technology to make money from anywhere in the world so he can remain free to move as God calls. Aaron believes God has given him the skills to do this and if we don’t use our God given skills and resources to the max, we will lose them. ---------------- 👉 Want to watch the interview?
