Show Notes

"Missions is not about place, but about people." God has been writing Jean Johnson's story since the beginning. God began to soften her heart towards the nations when displaced Southeast Asians came to her school in Minneapolis. This started a journey for her reaching out to Cambodians locally when she wasn't able to actually travel or live in Cambodia full time. Then she had the opportunity to work for 16 years in Cambodia. Today, she is a missionary, author, and leader of a non-profit organization.

Mission Minded Podcast: In Matthew 28:18-20, we are commissioned by Christ to make disciples of all the nations. Living in light of this scriptural call can be challenging. Join the Mission Minded podcast and participate in discussions with mission-minded individuals that come from diverse backgrounds, working all over the world, to bring some of the challenges into the light. The ITEC team hosts special guests who tell stories, ask questions, and inspire us to use our God-given gifts to take the Gospel to our neighbors and the nations.
