These rural pastors are the spiritual and physical lifelines of their communities. Serving bi-vocationally as farmers or tradespeople just to survive, they spend their remaining hours navigating rugged, isolated terrain on foot. They travel from home to home to lead small cell groups, deliver emergency food and clothing, facilitate basic healthcare, and pray with families enduring severe poverty and cultural hostility.
