Would you be prepared to die for the gospel? In this week's episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott sit down with Andrew Montonera, author of a new missionary biography on John and Betty Stam. They discuss the tragic story of the Stam's martyrdom in China (1934), the ordinariness of their lives, and the impact that their story has on Chinese Christians today.
Andrew Montonera is the great grand nephew of John Stam. Upon finding a collection of old books owned by John and Betty Stam, Andrew felt called to write a new missionary biography, "By Life or By Death", about their incredible life and death.
