Pocketing God’s Promises

Trek to the Wissel Lakes

Friday, August 29, 2025 | Guest: Jon Crocker and Tim Berrey |
Topics: Missions

On January 1, 1939, seven days into his journey to the Wissel Lakes, Russell Deibler wakes up physically exhausted and emotionally depleted. His carriers and supplies are too few. It's raining constantly, everything and everyone is wet, and the sharp limestone outcroppings are shredding his boots. All this is in an effort to pioneer a work among people who had never heard of Christ! What verse in Russell's Bible reading on that New Year's morning fortified him for the daunting journey that still lay ahead of him? Find out in this week's episode of Pocketing God’s Promises.
