In the summer of 2023, Beeson Divinity students Fallon Farley and Josiah Trombley, as well as Josiah's wife and Beeson staff member, Callie Trombley, took a trip to the Middle East as part of a cross-cultural ministry practicum trip. They worked alongside a Beeson Divinity alumna who is serving there long term and experienced what it is like to live and work in the Middle East as both the religious and cultural minority. They will share about those experiences and what they learned in this Global Voices lunch!
