In Episode 51 of The Christian Capitalist, Rich Sanders sits down with Avery Ratzlaff, a campus missionary serving international students at Arizona State University through International Students Incorporated (ISI).
What started as a simple conversation over lunch turned into a powerful look at modern missions—happening not overseas, but right in our own backyard. Avery shares her journey from Colorado to Arizona, to full-time ministry, and how God is using everyday relationships to reach students from all over the world.
This conversation explores faith lived boldly, the power of friendship-based ministry, serving across cultures, and why international students are often more open than ever to spiritual conversations. Avery also unpacks the realities of support-based ministry, obedience over comfort, and what it truly means to take Jesus to work with you every day.
This episode is a compelling reminder that the Great Commission doesn’t require a passport—just availability, courage, and love.
