HUMP #027: Rev. Beth Ann Cook-"Go Where the People Are" The mission of the Hoosier United Methodist Podcast with Dr. Brad Miller is to strengthen the connection in the United Methodist Church in the state of Indiana for the purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. In episode 027 of the Hoosier United Methodist Podcast Brad talks with Rev. Beth Ann Cook about her passions for evangelism and global missions. Beth Ann is a three time delegate from Indiana to General Conference where she has served as a spokesperson for the Good News Movement. Through her connections in the General church she has also become quite involved with global missions particularly in the African countries of Burundi and The Congo. Global missions is her passion and she is an advocate for realigning resources to serve the needs of rapidly growing African churches. She cares deeply about the direction of the church and continuing our Wesleyan heritage. She calls upon her own powerful conversion experience moving from a primarily unchurched family to becoming a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ as motivation to help other people know Jesus Christ as their personal savior. She lives this out in her ministry as pastor of the Ogilville and Rockford United Methodist Churches in southern Indiana. Beth Ann tells Brad a great story about evangelism and gourmet pancakes. Indeed, in episode 027 of the Hoosier United Methodist Podcast Beth Ann Cook makes it clear that her calling is to "go where the people are!"
