Join us for a powerful conversation about a lifetime of saying yes to God, from a ship crossing the Atlantic to printing presses in Thailand! 📖 In this episode, Kendall Cobb, missionary kid turned career missionary and leader of Axco Printing and Bible Way Ministries in Chiang Mai, Thailand, shares the story of his family’s decades of mission work across Madagascar, Germany, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand, and how getting God’s Word into people’s hands has unlocked gospel access for millions. 

Key takeaways:
* Legacy isn’t built in a day. A family that stays faithful for decades can shape generations of believers.
* Live by faith, not finances. When God gives the vision, He provides the way, even when the budget is a shoestring.
* The printed page lasts. Tens of millions of pieces of Christian literature have been printed in dozens of languages for Chinese, Thai, and Indian churches.
* Don’t say yes to God unless you’re willing to follow. The calling comes with sacrifice, but it’s His dream, not ours.
