On today’s podcast, Jon Fugler and Steve Harling interview Paul Eshleman, director of Finishing the Task. Paul has a passion for taking the gospel to those who have never heard. From decades of work with CRU, including EXPO ’72, and the Jesus Film, Paul has been a champion for the cause of Christ and a leader for challenging the church with innovative ways to evangelize.
Motivated from a deep conviction that everybody deserves to have one chance to hear how they can live forever, Paul describes moments that impacted his own life and propelled him to reaching people groups who had never heard the name of Jesus.
You will be enlightened and emboldened as you listen to the stories, challenges and passion of Paul. Discover how simple it is to become involved in the movement of Finishing the Task, and why now is one of the most exciting times for the church to step up and out in obedience to the call of the Great Commission.
Plug in, sit back, and prepare to become engaged!

Coming up on Easter, this episode brings lively discussion, reminding us of the 2 billion + people around the world who have yet to be reached with the message of hope and salvation in Jesus. From the core team members of International Day for the Unreached --(IDU), you will hear how God formed this Alliance to champion the cause of the most unreached and unengaged people of the earth.
You’ll hear from Steve Harling, president of Reach Beyond, along with other key leaders for IDU, a day which focuses on bringing awareness to the people and places around the world where little or no gospel, missionary, or Christian presence exist. You’ll discover staggering statistics on the unreached, and be challenged to become involved in specific ways.
Discover the story behind one key Alliance partner’s roots. Hear how an unreached tribe of fierce headhunters came to Christ through one single copy of the gospel that was brought in by a brave missionary.
This and other stories of the power of the gospel to transform lives is the motivation and purpose behind IDU. This exciting discussion will renew and reignite your own passion for the lost!
