E7: Turning Tragedy to Triumph with Cyrus Mad-Bondo
In today's episode of Discussions with Dusty I have a powerful conversation with Cyrus Mad-Bondo. I met Cyrus in September of 2022 on my latest mission trip to Guatemala and he has become a dear friend and brother in Christ. His love for the Lord is evident in all he does and especially all he speaks. Cyrus is a pastor, a missionary, he speaks 5 languages, and is a champion for sharing the love of Christ in all corners of the world.
Cyrus shares his life's story and how God has brought him through some of the most trying times growing up in the Central African Republic to the tragedy of losing his daughter, Irene, but has managed to turn that tragedy into triumph for the sake of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth!
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
Be blessed and happy listening.
