In this episode of the "Let's Talk Diaspora" podcast, hosts Bud and Rebecca welcomes special guest Mike Shipman, the senior strategist for the International Mission Board's (IMB) Diaspora Mobilization Team. Mike has served overseas for 21 years and now focuses on equipping believers and churches to implement the Great Commission among diaspora peoples living throughout North America.
Mike emphasizes the strategic opportunity of the diaspora, drawing insights from Acts 17:26, which highlights God's role in determining the times and boundaries of people's habitation. He asserts that the 1 in 7 people in the United States who are foreign-born are there for a purpose—to seek and find God.
