Geoff and Jackie Bishop were missionaries for many years in Burundi, central Africa. In this interview, they share the events that led them both there, how they met and what their ministry looked like. But eventually, they were no longer able to work in Burundi, so returned to Australia, where Geoff was from originally – what next? They detail the way they have adapted to use their skillset and experiences in a very different environment from Burundi. Discover more resources for Post-Field workers.
