In this episode of The Missions Table, host Nathan Harrod sits down with Pastor Mark Hattabaugh — Senior Pastor of The Pentecostals of Cooper City, Director of Youth on Missions in Florida, Global Missions Board member, and leader with Compassion Services International (CSI).
Pastor Hattabaugh reminds us that “you get the call to missions by exposure.” The mission field doesn’t start with a passport — it starts the moment you walk out of the church and into your community.
Together, we talk about how pastors can ignite a burden for the world by inviting missionaries into their local churches, giving their congregations firsthand exposure to God’s global mission. Pastor Hattabaugh also shares about Youth on Missions — a program where young people “pray hard and play hard” — and the life-changing impact of Compassion Services International in meeting physical and spiritual needs across the globe.
If you’ve ever wanted to get your church more involved in missions — through giving, going, or serving — this conversation will both challenge and inspire you.
