About Missionary Minds
Hear from the mind of a real-world missionary of over 20 years. From the rural village of Mbhokota in South Africa, Paul Schlehlein–or "Boti Paul / Mfundisi" (Brother Paul / teacher) as he is addressed in the podcast, hails from America, but has crossed the world, a culture, and a language group to minister to the Tsonga people of northern South Africa. His knowledge of the Scriptures, passion for church history, and lessons from the field shed light on issues of the faith, the family, and the fog of worldview confusion that plagues our day.
