Go! You Are Sent

The Case For Lay Foreign Missions // Sarah Granger

Have you ever wondered why ordinary lay Catholics like yourself would become foreign missionaries in this day and age? 
In this episode, we discuss the role of the laity in foreign missions with Sarah Granger, the executive director of Family Missions Company. Born into missions, Sarah shares how foreign missionary work is not only a vocational option for the laity, it is of paramount importance. We discuss how foreign missions is a fundamental responsibility of the entire people of God, and why the work of foreign missions must become more present in the modern Catholic zeitgeist.

People all over the world are dying every day without knowing the love of Jesus. At Family Missions Company, we address this by sharing the Gospel, serving the poor, and making disciples across the globe. When we make real friends with the poor, lives are transformed, hope is restored, and the Kingdom of God grows.
Go! You Are Sent takes you into the world of lay Catholic foreign missions. We interview missionaries, hear their testimonies, and explore the adventure and challenges of foreign evangelization. In addition, we cover a range of topics every Catholic can relate to such as the call to holiness, discerning the will of God, and much more.
