"YOU HAVE 10 DAYS TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY." I didn't want to hear these words. - Join us on #TheSentLife #Podcast as we interview Carol Ghattas about her book When Doors Close. Also, in this episode, we are introducing a new segment of the Sent Life Podcast - STORIES OF THE SENT ONES - which will be our time talking about past and present missionaries and faith heroes on the mission field.

When Doors Close - An Interview With Carol Ghattas - EP47

What do you do when a missions mobilization door seems to close? Whether it's a global pandemic, people struggling with life controlling addictions, or facing health challenges, this episode will equip you with ways to navigate the seemingly closed doors of serving in missions.    Listen in as Dave has a conversation with Carol Ghattas. Carol has served for over twenty years in overseas missions, the majority of that time in the Middle East and North Africa, and has vast experience with closed doors.   This episode will equip mobilizers, missionaries, missions pastors and leaders, or those interested in learning more about life overseas to remain mobilized for the long haul when challenges arise.  Topics Discussed:  What motivated you to write this book?  Why would someone who is feeling called to missions want to  read a book about closed doors? Wouldn’t that stop them from taking that step into service? Is this book just for people getting ready to serve, or do you have  others in mind as well? I see one of your chapters is about doors that won’t even open. Can you  explain that a bit more? What does it look like? This may not be an easy book for some readers. Why do you write about doors that close because it’s your fault?

Navigating Closed Doors in Mobilization with Carol Ghattas

Sometimes doors close in missions. Visas are revoked, governments change policy, or unrest breaks out and endangers expats. How should missionaries respond to these changes? This week we talk to Carol Ghattas about her latest book When Doors Close: Changing Course in Missions Without Losing Your Way. With over thirty years in missions, Carol Ghattas writes and speaks from experience. Ghattas worked among Laotians, West Africans, and Arabs, and she co-authored with her late husband Raouf, A Christian Guide to the Qur’an: Building Bridges in Muslim Evangelism. She has written three novels under the pen name Um Daoud and A Life Surrendered: Raouf W. Ghattas, a book about her husband’s life and work. Ghattas has contributed to numerous works on missions and Islam, is a contract writer for Missions Mosaic magazine, and an active blogger.
