Equipping the Next Generation: How One Global Worker Is Strengthening the Church in South Africa
📣 Share it with someone exploring a call to missions—or anyone who loves seeing the gospel at work across generations and cultures.
What happens when a short-term mission trip becomes a lifelong calling? In this episode of Sermon Notes, Jay Strother interviews Danielle Schneider, a global worker who has served as a missionary in South Africa for over 17 years.
Danielle works through Living Hope Ministries and King of Kings Baptist Church in Cape Town, where she mentors local leaders, develops curriculum, and leads children’s ministry efforts that reach hundreds of kids and families each year. With seven unique VBS-style programs annually, Danielle focuses on empowering nationals to share the gospel in their own communities and languages.
Her story is a powerful reminder that missions is not about doing it all yourself—it’s about investing in others so the work can multiply.
“We’re all called to go,” Danielle says. “The question isn’t if—it’s how, where, and when.”
Whether you’re discerning a call to missions or want to better understand how God is working globally through your church, this conversation will strengthen your faith and broaden your perspective.
