This episode of World Class tells the powerful and often overlooked story of Rev. David Newton Nathaniel, an Indian missionary who served in South Africa in the early 1950s. His life opens our eyes to a wider mission story—one in which the gospel has long traveled from the Global South to the Global South. Through history and reflection, this episode honors a faithful servant and invites us to see global Christianity with fresh eyes.
