In this episode of The Rest is Just Geography, a podcast out of Liberty University, Jason joins us from a remote village in Papua New Guinea, where he and his family live among the Wabuku people. He shares the story of how God led them there, how He has sustained them, and how He is building something new – a baby church taking root in the tribe.
Jason opens up about the realities of cross-cultural life: the hard moments, the joyful surprises, the cultural learning curves, and the countless ways God has shown Himself faithful. He describes how he and his family have learned to share the Gospel – “God’s talk” – in ways the Wabuku can truly grasp, using metaphors and images drawn from their own world. One of the most powerful is the invitation to step from Satan's canoe into Yahweh’s canoe, a picture of repentance that resonates deeply within the tribe’s way of seeing the world.
