God on the Move Podcast

What if the numerically greatest untapped force for global mission is already sitting in the pews?

 

In this episode of God on the Move, Jennifer Abigail Lawson-Wallace and Beulah Joyce Ashindu Muga share how Women in Tune—birthed through years of prayer, a vision of Christ’s return, and a mandate to restore and disciple women—has mobilized “ordinary women” across Africa to discover their identity and inheritance in Christ and step into worship, prayer, evangelism, discipleship, and leadership. They describe trainings like Free to Serve, prayer-walking initiatives, translations and literacy support, and testimonies of transformed families, growing churches, community change, and ministry breakthroughs in places like Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, and Ethiopia, while also addressing resistance rooted in culture and church structures and calling the global church to fresh empowerment by the Holy Spirit.

🧑‍💻 About Biruk

Biruktawit Tsegaye was born and raised in Assela, a town in central Ethiopia. Her parents were nominal Ethiopian Orthodox believers. However, Biruk’s father’s transformation into a born-again believer became the catalyst for her own conversion and a significant inspiration for her life in ministry. 

Biruk served as a youth leader in her home church, and during her five years at university, she was part of the leadership team of the campus fellowship. After graduating from one of Ethiopia's well-known universities with a degree in Hydraulic Engineering, she joined EvaSUE (Evangelical Students and Graduates Union of Ethiopia) as a full-time staff member. 

Upon joining EvaSUE, Biruk underwent 45 days of intensive training in Campus Mission Mobilization (CMM) during the summer. This program, introduced by Horn of Africa—one of EvaSUE's partners—included courses such as Kairos and NVISION. She worked as a mission mobilizer and coordinator in three different universities, organizing short-term missions with students to reach unreached people groups in Ethiopia. Additionally, she coordinated mission training sessions and conferences.

Succinctly, Biruk joined AIPM (Ambaricho International Prayer and Missions Movement), an indigenous organization. During her time with AIPM, she spent eight months in Thailand focusing on mission mobilization and outreach programs alongside an international team composed of individuals from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, the Philippines, Mali, Kenya, and Thailand. This experience was eye-opening and enriching, deepening her understanding of global missions and teamwork.

Currently, Biruk is in the process of establishing a ministry called Living Bridge Global, where she serves as both director and board member.

What if the crises you’ve endured are exactly what God is using to shape a church that stands together and shines? 

In this episode of God on the Move Priscila Szuka shares her perspective as a 28-year-old evangelical leader from Bariloche, Argentina, reflecting on national resilience amid recurring economic hardship, the growth of evangelicals alongside a largely nominal Catholic culture, and the challenge of syncretism in parts of Latin America. She describes encouraging progress as younger believers move past historic divisions between denominations and increasingly collaborate as the body of Christ, while noting ongoing doctrinal barriers with Catholics. Priscila also opens up about serving across church ministries, her passion to pursue acting as a profession while being “light” in the arts, and her gratitude and anticipation after being selected for the Lausanne Younger Leaders Gathering 2027 and the YLGen journey, asking for prayer to deepen dependence on God in difficult seasons.

 

🧑‍💻 About Priscila

Priscila Szuka is from the south of Argentina, from a beautiful city called Bariloche. She was born and raised there, and has had the blessing of attending the same church since she was born, too, now serving there as well in different ministries, like Sunday school with her beautiful 5 to 7 years-old children, worship team, social media, and the arts ministry. Priscila holds a degree in hotel management and tourism, which goes well with her love of discovering new countries and cultures, travelling, serving people, and learning new languages. She is passionate about the arts (especially acting, singing, and dancing) and sharing the gospel in those contexts and through those types of arts. She is also a fan of history and  can't stop being amazed when seeing how God has been working throughout history, and that we get to be part of his plan for this time and place.

What if the gospel’s greatest breakthroughs happen where roads are dirt, schools meet under trees, and following Jesus can cost you everything? 

In this episode of God on the Move Tom Obwogo shares how he was sent from Kenya to Wau, South Sudan, through a partnership between Gracehill Mission Church, World Concern, and the Episcopal Church of South Sudan, equipping 15 local evangelists to plant and disciple nearly 200 village churches amid trauma, tension, and deep cultural practices. He describes prioritizing children’s discipleship through simple schools and Sunday school, training about 300 teachers and gathering over 2,000 children weekly, and using a savings-and-discipleship model that formed nearly 70 groups saving about $8,000 while encouraging farming committees.

Where is the moral voice of the church when rivers are poisoned, forests are destroyed, and communities lose their livelihoods? 

In this episode of God on the Move, Seth Appiah-Kubi shares how his Christian faith led him from a career in finance to become national director of A Rocha Ghana, a Christian conservation organization working across Ghana to protect ecosystems, wildlife, and water while supporting community livelihoods. He describes Ghana’s worsening environmental crisis—especially illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) polluting rivers with mercury and cyanide, degrading land, and threatening protected forests—alongside climate-change impacts in the savanna north. Seth explains A Rocha’s slow but growing engagement with churches through training, conferences, and partnerships, and recounts their major campaign to stop bauxite mining in the biodiverse, river-sourcing Atewa Forest, including a 2020 court case that has halted mining while they advocate for national park status and call the global church to prayer and action.
