On today’s Podcast Larry and Drew welcome Missionary and Pastor Charles Costa to the podcast. Charles serves with his family in Beirut, Lebanon. The discussion starts off with Costa talking about not fearing death in the middle East. He said “God has appointed for a man to die once, I’m going to die anyway, I might as well make it count - I want to say to the Lord, I gave my everything for you including my life.”
They discuss the Aug. 4th bombing of the port of Beirut, how the currency has fallen 90% and the impact on the ministry of pastors and the church.
Costa explained, “We see adverse situations as opportunity to show the love of Christ. The bombing in the port of Beirut is the 3rd largest and most destructive non-nuclear bombing in history. But, it has been an opportunity to serve people and make Christ known.”
One final question asked to Costa was “What would say is the most important thing the American church needs to change in order to be a healthy church?” (Answer in the podcast)
