This week’s episode of Faith On Campus is an interview with Jeremy Wright, a student who is considering cross-cultural mission. Jeremy studies Maths & Physics at the University of Western Australia, and has just been elected as the President of Christian Union for 2021.
In our churches we often get to hear from missionaries who are already out there in the field about why they are engaged in cross-cultural mission. I always find this really helpful, but it can sometimes feel far removed from our everyday lives, because these missionaries have often been in through years of training and preparation by the team we hear from them.
In my experience, we don’t often get to hear from those who are much earlier in the process, still considering cross-cultural mission work as a possibility, but not yet decided whether they’ll go or not.
That’s why I’ve been really keen to have Jeremy on the podcast. I found it really helpful to hear from Jeremy about some of the influences that led him to consider cross-cultural mission in the first place, some of the factors he’s weighing up, and some concrete steps he’s taking to help him move towards a decision.
A particular highlight for me was how Jeremy compared following Jesus to Chewbacca – great analogy for any Star Wars fans like myself!
