Summer is a season when many young people have the opportunity to experience a mission trip to see the need of a hurting world up close and perhaps for the first time in person. It can be life altering in some cases and certainly a lasting reminder to count the blessings we all take for granted most of the time.

Both within the U.S. and around the world there are plenty of people that need to not only experience the body of Christ serving and ministering to their urgent needs but also to hear the good news of the gospel for the very first time.

In this episode my guest is Omar Garcia, Missions Pastor at Kingsland Baptist Church where Kim and I are members.  Kingsland is rather unusual in its generosity toward missions and its mission focus with 17% of the total budget dedicated to Missions.  Omar has been a passionate servant leader for our programs and has seen the total giving grow to over $40 million in his 20 years on staff in this capacity.  A remarkable figure!

However, Omar continues to have an extreme passion to reach people all over the world who haven’t ever heard the Gospel.  His sense of urgency makes his wrestling match much more noble than most of us with more selfish motives.  He wrestles with the weight of the world spelled both W-E-I-G-H-T and W-A-I-T.
