Christian Radio veteran Wayne Pederson was a featured guest recently on the Amazing Greats podcast. Wayne talks about his early conflict between his faith and his passion and how they ended up merging. At 16 years old he had an “AH-HA” Jesus moment that shaped the rest of his life. Wayne’s life work centers around bringing the name of Jesus to remote areas of the world to people who had never been exposed to Christianity including some of the most religiously repressed countries like Russia, North Korea, Mongolia, Indonesia, Ukraine, Vietnam, Cambodia and Africa. Wayne currently works with Far East Broadcasting Company and is focusing his life on “Finishing well”.
