Mobilizing Introverts with Daryl VanDyken

The Gospel Mobilization Podcast

Is there a common misconception that missionary work is only for extroverts? How might introverts go about fundraising and evangelism if they dislike public speaking? In this episode of the Missionary Mobilization Podcast, Dave interviews Daryl Vandyken, an electrical engineer with TWR. Tune in to discover ways you can journey alongside introverts, helping them realize that God has important ministries for them on the missions field. Or, you could skip this episode and go curl up with a good book instead, but you'd miss all this introverted fun!

Here’s what the two discussed…

1. Before we get into the discussion, how are we defining the terms, introverts and extroverts?

2. Is missions work only for extroverts? Why or why not?

3. What are some specific challenges in mobilizing introverts to the field?

4. How can introverts raise funds if they are uncomfortable with speaking in front of people?

5. What are some other missions strategies/platforms aside from traditional church planting that may be appropriate for introverts?

6. How can we better mobilize those that don't have theological training?

7. What types of introvert ministry positions does TWR have overseas?

8. What would you say to young people who are considering missions?
