2025 June Mission's Edge Roundtable Session

Making Disciples Right Where You Are:
It’s Okay to Express Curiosity!

Tues., June 17, 2025
12 Noon CT (US) | 1 PM ET

Roundtable Description:
Often times we become concerned about our curiosity and feel like it can be taken negatively or offensively. This session we will learn that it is ok to express curiosity and how you can do this without being rude to another culture. Learn some good questions that open up the conversation, take real interest in the other person, and through your curiosity show Jesus' love and that you care about them. We will also hear different cultural perspectives. While Esther represents the East, Juergen will represent from a Western mindset.

Bios:
Dr. Juergen Kramer, Roundtable Leader
Dr. Kramer is founder of the All Nations Hamburg Hub and he is an International Leadership Team Member with All Nations International. He is a church planter as well as a successful businessman who leads his own consulting practice for senior business leaders. He has supported missions work in many countries around the globe through visits, training and coaching since 2002. Since 2015 the immense influx of Muslim refugees to Germany created the opportunity and need for developing a focused missional team that has planted churches among unreached peoples in the diaspora. His newest missions activities encompass mobilizing the Muslim diasporas to reach their homelands. Juergen holds a M.A. and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Hamburg, Germany. He is married to Monika, and they have two daughters and three grandsons.  

Esther Wang
Esther was born in Tainan, Taiwan, and is a missionary with All Nations working mainly in Germany, making disciples and raising up leaders among the Iranians. She has a heart to share the deep relationship with Jesus with others around her, and believes in raising up indigenous leaders, and that raising up the younger generation is the key to see real change in the community.

Roundtable #3
Making Disciples Right Where You Are: When is a Good Time to Talk About Spiritual Things?
Tues., Sept. 16, 2025
12 Noon CT (US) | 1 PM ET
Roundtable Description: In this session we will discuss how to always be prepared to sow, yet applying wisdom in each scenario and to be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit as well as the person in front of us. How do I gain the trust of the person I am walking with, and how can I make sure that what I share will be taken to heart? What kind of factors could I take into consideration as I start sharing and how do I progress into spiritual conversation? We should not allow any of these questions to prevent us from reaching out to someone, rather it can help us to prepare our minds and hearts to build trusting relationships through which we can share the truth more effectively on our journey in making disciples of Jesus.
Roundtable Leader/Facilitator: Adele Heyns, All Nations Hamburg Fieldworkers working among Arabic people in Germany will lead this conversation. Joining them will be two guests panelists: Cindy Anderson, YWAM missionary; and All Nations Worker Tami Martin. Bios will be shared later.

What is Mission’s Edge?

If you or someone you know has a heart to see increased fruit in their ministries and missions endeavors, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn among ministry and missions leaders! In 2023, we changed our online gatherings to focus on strategic conversations around finding the best ways to work together to fulfill the Great Commission. A part of our dialogues in each roundtable will dive into how to best help us all partner well with the Lord in what He is already doing! We know believers, ministries, and churches have a unique role in helping to raise up and equip and support current and future generations of missionaries that will go to the places where the name of Jesus is not yet known. We know you will be blessed and we will be blessed by your participation!

Mission’s Edge Roundtable Sponsorship
