Pablo Garcia - Coming Full Circle of Being on Mission with God

In this powerful episode of the Collective Leadership Podcast (Season 4), hosts Omar Niebles and District Superintendent Kelvin Walker sit down with Pablo Garcia, Executive Pastor of Global and Local Partnerships at Princeton Alliance Church, to explore the incredible ripple effect of missions work across generations.

Pablo shares his deeply personal journey from growing up as a pastor's kid in one of Lima, Peru's poorest neighborhoods to becoming a missions leader in the United States. His story beautifully illustrates how one missionary's five years of census-taking in 1920s Peru created a chain reaction that would eventually lead to Pablo's family coming to faith and his current role in preparing the next generation of missionaries.

Key topics discussed include:

• The legacy of Alliance missions in Peru, starting with Raymond Clark in the 1920s
• Growing up in ministry and learning valuable lessons about self-care and family priorities
• Pablo's unexpected 12-year journey serving at a Chinese church in New York
• The transformative power of churches becoming sending churches rather than just funding churches
• How God's provision enabled Pablo to complete his education debt-free
• The importance of cross-cultural ministry and kingdom multiplication

This episode is a testament to God's faithfulness across generations and cultures, showing how saying "yes" to God's calling—even when it means counting people for five years—can impact countless lives decades later. It's a must-listen for anyone involved in missions, church leadership, or wondering about the long-term impact of their ministry investments.

The Collective Leadership Podcast focuses on kingdom renewal and holistic gospel transformation, featuring conversations with leaders from the Metro District of the Christian & Missionary Alliance.
