Stories from the Nations is a limited-series podcast from Redeemer Community Church that introduces listeners to the people, churches, and ministries behind some of our global partnerships. Across five episodes, we travel from the Amazon jungle of Peru to cities in Japan, Cyprus, Turkey, and Spain to hear how God is working through his Church around the world.
Each episode explores how God is using Redeemer’s global partnerships to make the gospel visible through faithful churches and long-term ministry. We hope these stories help you better understand what God is doing among the nations and consider your own role in Christ’s Great Commission.
Pray
We’d love for this to be more than a podcast you listen to once. These stories introduce you to some of the ways that God is using our church around the world, and we hope they lead you to remain invested in their work through prayer.

Following Jesus in Turkey comes with a real cost. The ruins of the ancient cities of Ephesus, Colossae, Laodicea, Smyrna, and many more found in the New Testament are found in Turkey. And yet, most people are born, live, and die without ever hearing the gospel.

Spain sits at a strategic point with such close proximity to Morocco. This means that churches in southern Spain have a unique role in missions across Muslim North Africa. We partner with Iglesia Bautista Fe, pastored by Alberto Puente Navarro, in Seville, Spain.
