#131 // Brian DeVries | What Is The Mission Of The Church?

Episode Summary

In this episode I talked with Brian DeVries. Brian is the president of Mukhanyo Theological College in South Africa and adjunct professor of missiology at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary. He has been a part of several church plants and is a pastor at Grace Reformed Church in Pretoria. In our conversation we discussed his new book, You Will Be My Witnesses. In this book, Brian gives a thorough and comprehensive theological breakdown of the mission of the Church. He begins by explaining how we can learn about being witnesses from reading the Old Testament and then helps readers to understand the difference between missions work and being a “witness”. We discussed all of this and much more - I hope you enjoy!
