Faith Talks: Called to Stay, Called to Serve (with Christine Rokoduru)

Episode Summary

In this episode of Faith Talks, Anna Faith Gillmore sits down with Christine Rokoduru, a pastor’s wife in Fiji whose testimony shines with surrendered faith and steadfast service.

Her wisdom, humility, and joy in serving the Lord will challenge and encourage you to trust Him with every step of your journey.
