Episode 50: Sally Smith

 

Host Tori Walker recently travelled to China and took the opportunity to catch up with Sally* about her life and work over the last 20 years in a large city in China.   Sally and her husband are involved in leadership development with a Christian organisation, and they have many opportunities to share their faith in Jesus and encourage Chinese Christians to grow in leading others to Christ and growing in maturity in Him.

 

EPISODE NOTES:

Sally Smith* lives and works in China as a life coach and a missionary. She works with her husband and has three teenage children. As a missionary, one of Sally’s favourite ministry experiences is doing small group bible studies with unbelievers. She says “I love to see them encounter Jesus in the Word.” Another one of her favourite things to do is to relax with a book in hand or to spend the day at a beach.

A Bible passage that Sally says inspires her to keep going and fix her eyes on Jesus is Hebrews 12:1-2:

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
