<p>Levi Schooley, podcast producer, interviews Nelson and Carmen Westerband, IPM missionaries who have planted a church in Puerto Rico. They talk about how they came to know the Lord, and discuss the joys and struggles of family and ministry in Puerto Rico.</p>

International Partnership Ministries is a missions organization that works with national missionaries around the world who are involved in starting new independent Baptist churches, Bible colleges, Bible institutes, and other opportunities for Christian theological education in their own countries.

In our weekly audio Partnership Podcast, we dive into the lives of some of these modern heroes of faith. Each missionary has a unique perspective on ministry. They have come from a variety of religious backgrounds to ultimately demonstrate that Christianity is more than just a religion--it is a special relationship with Jesus Christ, and His gospel is worthy to be preached even in the face of persecution.

In addition to interviews with these men of God, we will seek to open discussions and answer our listeners' questions regarding the theology of modern evangelical missions, as well as provide practical advice on how to better accomplish the evangelistic goal of reaching the world--both at home and abroad--with the gospel.
