Adventist Peace Radio, Episode 47: Quarterly Lesson 9—Ministry in the New Testament Church

Welcome to Adventist Peace Radio, the podcast of the Adventist Peace Fellowship. This episode continues our series following the Quarterly lesson study. This episode covers Lesson 9—Ministry in the New Testament Church (August 24–30, 2019).

This episode features Brenton Stacey, who joins co-hosts Nathan Brown, Lisa Diller, and Jeff Boyd to discuss the life and ministry of the early church. As a follower of Jesus, Brenton feels called with wife Kylie to build stronger connections through shared experiences as part of a community collective called The Open House, a chapter of Adventist Peace Fellowship. With a degree in communication, experience in news writing and publishing and a growing interest in philanthropy, he is Public Relations Officer at Avondale College of Higher Education.
