In the seventh episode of the Same Jesus podcast, Russell and A.J. take a look at both shared mission and church mission. Angelus Temple immediately began sending out new leaders to plant churches in the U.S. and preach the gospel around the world as missionary workers. Why does this matter? Listen on to discover why Foursquare is (still) “dedicated unto the cause of interdenominational and worldwide evangelism.”
The Same Jesus podcast is hosted by Russell Joyce and A.J. Swoboda.
Russell Joyce is senior pastor of Faith Center, a Foursquare church located in Eugene, Ore. He is also the director of Foursquare Multiply, which seeks to train, network and multiply the next generation of Foursquare churches across the U.S.
