Welcome to another podcast episode of “What’s an Adventist?”

When I think of missionaries, I think of people who travel overseas and help bring relief to the suffering populations in third world countries like Africa, Indonesia, or some remote part of the world. Even though we live in a country where the majority of people have wealth and a standard of living well above the rest of the world, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any needs, especially when it comes to the cities.

There are areas in some of our large cities where people are destitute, poverty and crime is rampant, and the need for physical and spiritual healing is needed just as much as in other impoverished parts of the world. Historically, Adventism has strongly encouraged Christians to work diligently in the cities as this work is connected to a mighty movement; “The work in the cities is the essential work for this time. When the cities are worked as God would have them, the result will be the setting in operation of a mighty movement such as we have not yet witnessed” (Medical Ministry, 304).

This week Jesse Sias and Abraham Miranda talk to Wes Via, Coordinator for the “Mission to the Many” (M2M) initiative. M2M is an initiative sponsored by the Pennsylvania Conference of Seventh-day Adventists whose mission is to recruit and equip volunteer missionaries to work specifically in urban areas.

If you would like to be an urban mission worker or would like more information on the M2M initiative you can contact Wes Via at wvia@paconference.org or visit their website at www.missiontothemany.com (currently under construction).
