#011 Lielson Penido — A Life that Preaches the Gospel

God pulled him out a garbage can, literally. He was just a new-born when the Lord used a pastor / missionary and his wife to rescue him, and to adopt him as their own. His name is Lielson Penido, and his very life is a picture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.   And, he wouldn't have it any other way.   Brazilian-born, he grew up on the mission fields of Ecuador, finished school in the US and served later with the IMB as a missionary in Spain and Portugal.   More recently he is a church planter, who also serves as a chaplain and a catalyst with the Tampa Bay Baptist Association.   And we are blessed to call him friend, and to have him as our guest on this episode.   Show Supporters: Cornerstone Project Management, Tampa, FL — www.cornerstonepmp.com [http://www.cornerstonepmp.com] Dallas 1 Construction and Development, Tampa, FL — d1cd.com [https://d1cd.com]  Link to Tampa Bay Baptist Association — tbba.org [https://tbba.org]

#010 Aaron Williamson — Getting to the Bottom Line

So what do consultants and project managers do anyway? Especially in this era of exploding technology? Let's find out from our guest, Aaron Williamson, a business owner based in Tampa FL, where he and his partner are helping large organizations all over the world develop systems, solve problems, achieve goals and do it all with an eye on the bottom line. Only the bottom line for Aaron is Jesus. So much so, he named the business Cornerstone. Cornerstone Project Management. And we are grateful to have Aaron on for the first time today as a cornerstone partner for GCP and a major sponsor for this pilot season of GC Talk, where we want to answer the question, what can missionaries and the church leaders learn from a guy who is running his business for Christ? Let's ask him ourselves.

#009 Dan Pokharel — Following Christ from Nepal to the U.S. and Back

He grew up in Nepal with 33 million Hindu gods. Little g, false gods. At age 20, he met Jesus Christ, the One True God. And that changed everything for him. His name is Dr. Dan Pokharel, and he is a pastor, church planter, missionary, and the executive director of Global Mission Nepal based in Charlotte, NC. More recently he founded the National Baptist Convention of Nepal as the first denominational organization of its kind in country that only received the Gospel of Christ in the 1950s. It was fifty years later, in the early 2000s that Dan came to US as a young Christian to study and prepare for ministry, thinking he would go back to Nepal. But God had other ideas, and Pastor Dan has been planting Nepali-speaking churches in Texas, in Boston and New England, Charlotte and Nepal ever since. In fact, since 2013, he has led Global Mission Nepal to plant 167 churches across the entire country. And he is only getting started.  Show Supporters:  Dallas 1 Construction and Development, Tampa, FL — d1cd.com [https://d1cd.com]  Cornerstone Project Management, Tampa, FL — www.cornerstonepmp.com [http://www.cornerstonepmp.com] Link to Pastor Dan — https://globalmissionnepal.org/ [https://globalmissionnepal.org/]

#008 Bob Magruder — Creating a Culture of Disciple Making

He heard the Great Commission as a command. So he just did what Jesus said: "Go, therefore, and make disciples." And for Dr. Bob Magruder, he's been doing it for 40 years since, as a pastor in just about every role you can imagine, and now, in a new role as the full-time Executive Director of Multiplying Culture Ministries. He is co-author of Multiplying: Creating a Culture of Disciple-Makers, which he wrote with his wife Barbie. He is a discipleship coach. He is a mentor for leaders who want to make disciples. He is also discipling men. Always has. Whether that's one-one-one or in small groups, it has been the experience gained through those groups that has provided the inspiration for the book, and a desire to share what he's learned with others.
