What happens when following God's call takes you somewhere you never expected—and then leads you somewhere you never expected to return?

After nine years serving throughout Latin America, missionary Nate Beil has seen God's faithfulness in remote villages, growing churches, unexpected provision, and the lives of national pastors whose quiet sacrifice has profoundly shaped his own faith.

In this episode of Kingdom Without Borders, Nate joins Mark for a conversation about missionary calling, the realities of cross-cultural ministry, putting Bibles into the hands of the Miskito people, partnering with national pastors, and learning that God's plan doesn't always look the way we imagined it would.

Through it all, Nate has discovered something that changed the way he sees missions: God's kingdom is much bigger than we think—and we simply have the privilege of joining Him in what He is already doing.

Nate Beil has served with CORE Missions for nine years, ministering throughout Latin America alongside national pastors and local churches. After two terms on the mission field, Nate and his family recently transitioned back to the United States due to family health needs, but his heart and ministry remain deeply connected to Latin America.

Today, Nate continues traveling throughout the region, strengthening national pastors and churches while helping develop Bible Institutes designed to equip believers for ministry. His years of cross-cultural service have given him a deep appreciation for the faithfulness and sacrifice of national believers—and a growing conviction that God’s kingdom is far bigger than any one country, culture, or ministry.
