It was ordinary day in August when a sudden rockfall trapped 33 Chilean miners deep underground. Among them was a deeply committed Christian who was to guide the group in prayers and offer them spiritual support.
Jose Henriquez was that man and now he has come to the UK with CMS to tell the remarkable story of how his faith sustained him during the 69 days the group were trapped underground - and how the rescue he sees as a miracle has driven him to become a missionary.
With him (and translating in this podcast) is his new friend the Rev Alf Cooper, CMS mission partner and Protestant chaplain to the President of Chile.

You're called to mission - but what about the children? Will working cross-culturally mess them up or bless them? Can we bear to send them away to school? For many mission families in Asia, Hebron School in South India is the answer to those questions. After God confirmed her call through the words of a child, Kathy Pinsent spent five years at Hebron, providing crucial support to mission kids. Produced and presented by Jenny Rawden.

It's a great privilege to bring joy into children's lives, says mission partner Jill Ball, who founded the charity Life in Abundance Trust that runs a special school for children with disabilities in Ecuador. The school makes a real difference, offering a complete education for children who still face social stigma, though attitudes are changing because the vice-president is a wheelchair user.
