In this podcast episode, hosts Jason and Gary delve into the profound impact of a church member named Margarita who recently lost her battle with cancer. Gary and Jason talk about Margarita's life and how even in her death, Christ was magnified. They also address the unique challenges missionaries face when dealing with deaths and funerals, mainly due to cultural differences and nuances.

Funerals can be uncomfortable for missionaries due to unfamiliar cultural customs and traditions. However, they emphasize that despite these cultural variations, the most important thing for believers is to rally around those who have lost a loved one and demonstrate the love and support of Christ.

As Jason and Gary reflect on Margarita's funeral, they highlight how her life was a powerful testimony for Christ. Her unwavering faith, love for others, and commitment to living for Christ indelibly impacted everyone who knew her. Tears may have been shed, but her funeral was anything but ordinary. It became a celebration of her extraordinary journey and the eternal hope she found in Christ.

Join Jason and Gary as they delve into Margarita's remarkable story, drawing important lessons about living wholeheartedly for Christ, even in death. Prepare to be encouraged, inspired, and challenged to magnify Christ in your own life.
