Blood of a Martyr in Baghdad
All the plans were in play for Bob Blincoe to take a team of Jesus followers into Baghdad in December to pray about moving there to plant the gospel in Baghdad and southern Iraq. But in the “severe providence of God,” the trip didn’t happen because the man who was Bob’s main contact in Baghdad was martyred. Bob Blincoe from FrontiersUSA joins us to share the story of this brother’s martyrdom; how hundreds of Muslims in Baghdad have heard the gospel because of his death; and the plan to take a few believers into Iraq this year who will be praying about taking the baton from our fallen brother. “Except a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains a single seed. But if it dies it produces many seeds” (John 12:24).

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
