Welcome to Living My Faith, a weekly show that celebrates the everyday believers who are walking with Jesus not just on Sundays, but in every area of their lives. From relationships and parenting to health, habits, and home, our guests share how they keep their faith at the center of it all. Hosted in Jacksonville, Florida and supported by Christ-centered partners, Living My Faith is a space where real life meets real faith. Today our host, Chuck Coker spoke with Paige and Matthew Marrs.

Short company description:
We work to advance the Gospel in the Democratic Republic of Congo through education and community building.
We build schools and churches to reach unreached people groups in DRC, then work with the local communities toward independence.
If you had one message to get across to future customers, what would it be?
Everyone has a part to play. There are goers and senders. The goers cannot go without the people who send them. And the senders cannot send if there is no one to go. We need each other.
What differentiates you from the competition?
While there are many ministries that work in Africa, there are few that work in DRC. DRC is a tough place to get into initially and then have any sort of staying power. By the grace of God, we have a presence there with two active sites. We also do school and church planting, so we don’t focus on only children, or only adults, or only provision, or only church planting, but rather the community as a whole.
