Centrally Speaking

“Centrally Speaking” is a podcast from the Central Schwenkfelder Church and speaks about issues that would be of interest to our society. In particular it addresses how a Christian worldview intersects with western secular culture. In the spirit of the church's founder, we take the perspective of "the Middle Way," which is in agreement with the historic Christian church.

Mission work has always been associated with the church. Some mission work takes place in remote corners of the world where telecommunication, airplanes, and even roads do not exist. What does it take to get the message of Jesus Christ to these remote areas? In this podcast, we interview Steven Biggerstaff, the Vice President for Advancement from Jungle Aviation and Relay Services (JAARS), a mission that has been in existence since 1948. JAARS has a long history with transport and logistics for missionaries and Bible translators to distant and isolated places. We ask questions to Steve about what is involved with getting missionaries out to the most remote areas in the world.
