071: Pastor Jeff Mueller on Pastoring in Hawaii, A New Model for Rescuing Children, and How Compassion is the Catalyst to Sharing The Gospel

Jeff Mueller is currently the senior pastor of Waikoloa Lutheran Church in Waikoloa, Hawaii. Mueller has planted churches and ministries, including Child Beyond International. This organization is committed to rescuing vulnerable children, specifically in Guatemala.

Today’s episode is brought to you by our partner Child Beyond International. 

Through this incredible mission rescue organization, you and those in your church can be changed in just 10,000 minutes! Why 10,000? Because 10,000 minutes is the exact amount of time spent on a seven-day mission trip. Child Beyond International has everything set up for you and your church to experience a powerful overseas mission trip that will rescue the life of a child in Guatemala. Not only this, but it will change the lives of those who go on the mission trip as well. You and your church can be transformed in just one week. Personally, mission trips change my perspective, restore my purpose, and grow my faith unlike anything else.

Mission trips are one of the most effective faith-building discipleship opportunities God provides for us, not only to make a huge spiritual difference in the life of one soul at a time, but in each one of our own spiritual lives as well! So, today, I invite you to check out the great work of our partner at their website www.childbeyond.org.

Additionally, I’ll be doing a FREE webinar with Pastor Jeff Mueller, founder and president of Child Beyond International, on April 11th at Noon-1PM CT. The webinar will help your church create a global mission strategy that reaches the vulnerable. You can register for that here.
