In this remarkable episode, hosts Mike Tapia and Cody Hall talk with veteran missionary Mark Blosser, whose career spans decades and continents. From growing up as a missionary kid in rural India to broadcasting the gospel across Asia and Africa with Trans World Radio (TWR), Mark’s journey is filled with courage, creativity, and deep faith.
Mark shares stories of childhood without electricity, motorcycle adventures across continents, and a calling shaped by both passion and providence. His work took him to strategic locations like Guam, Sri Lanka, and Eswatini—places chosen not for comfort but for gospel reach. He opens up about leadership challenges, surviving burnout, and the cost of long obedience.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that God uses willing hearts over lifetimes—and that behind every broadcast signal or transmitter tower is a faithful servant pointing others to Christ.
