There are still places in the world where the gospel has little presence. Villages without roads. Communities hidden deep beyond rivers and jungle trails. Places most people will never see.In this episode, we talk with Larry Montgomery about what it actually looks like to go there. Together we unpack the logistics, partnerships, risks, and spiritual realities behind ministry in hard-to-reach places.But this conversation goes deeper than stories of travel and hardship. It becomes a reflection on calling, obedience, and the way God changes people when they step beyond comfort for the sake of the gospel.Key TakeawaysWhy “all the easy places are taken” continues to shape frontier mission workHow local pastors, translators, drivers, cooks, and ministry partners make remote outreach possibleA powerful story of a father carrying his daughter for hours through the jungle seeking helpWhy many people go for the adventure but return because they encounter the need for the gospelThe importance of preparation, partnership, and wisdom when entering difficult placesHow mission experiences often reshape a person’s worldview and callingWhy no one is meant to sit out the work of the Great CommissionChapter Markers 00:00 — Welcome to Season Two and the reality of unreached places 03:20 — Entering Nueva San Martin for the first time 07:10 — Why GO continues pursuing hard-to-reach communities 11:15 — A miraculous story from deep in the Peruvian jungle 17:40 — The role of local partners and Peruvian believers 24:30 — Why strategy and partnership matter in frontier mission 29:10 — Adventure versus calling: what keeps people returning 33:00 — Risk, preparation, and trusting God in difficult places 39:25 — How mission work changed Larry’s life forever 45:00 — Encouragement for listeners sensing God’s invitationWant to learn how GO International is planting the Church where it isn’t - and what that could look like for you?Visit gointernational.org to give, go, or grow the movement.
