A Pastor on the Front Lines

In this episode of Hope Renewed we talk with Doug Smith, a pastor on the front lines of rural ministry. Doug’s story is an amazing picture of how faith in God can help a ministry couple weather any storm. Doug faced a forced exit for bringing too may new believers and unchurched people into his church.
