What does missions really look like? The lives of cross-cultural workers can sometimes be shrouded in mystery—or obscured by misconceptions. In each episode of the Relentless Pursuit Podcast, we go behind the scenes to talk to a missionary about their life and work. Join us as we uncover the messy, rewarding, sometimes dangerous journey of following Jesus to the nations.

Refugee Stories From Southern Europe

What does ministry look like when you only have a few months, weeks or even days to build relationships and share the gospel refugees from war-torn countries, before they are moved to their next destination? Eileen and her family are doing just that in strategic location in Southern Europe. Join us to hear some of the creative ways they are serving people in desperate circumstances—and unexpected lessons they are learning along the way.
Bonus Story: Even when everything has been torn away from them, Eileen discovers that refugees often have an insatiable appetite for stories from the word of God.
You can read more of Eileen’s story—and those of others like her—in our book, Items May Have Shifted: When Missionaries Get Rerouted.
When serving refugees, time is often at a premium. The same goes for members of Pioneers’ Edge teams as they seek to pack as much learning and ministry into 8- to 12-week mission experiences. Check out our destinations for 2025.
Refugees are often uniquely receptive to the gospel. Watch our brief videos telling the story of Mahdi—a Sudanese refugee who encountered Jesus in Egypt and now lives in France. Watch part 1 and part 2—each is less than 4 minutes.
