Don Shire & Mike Dawson: From Orphan Care to Tribal Evangelism

In this powerful episode of Stand Up for the Truth, host Dave Wager welcomes long-time friends and global missionaries Don Shire and Mike Dawson. The conversation centers around Matthew 24:14 and the call to proclaim the gospel to all nations. Mike shares updates from deep in the Amazon rainforest, where he and his teams are discovering hundreds of previously unreached Yanomami villages—many who have never heard the name of Jesus. He explains how they use solar-powered audio Bibles and gospel films like The Passion of the Christ to reach remote tribes, often traveling for days by boat and foot. Dave reflects on the impact of simply showing up for missionaries in the field and how those personal connections can open doors for the gospel in remarkable ways.

Don shares stories of his trumpet ministry opening unexpected doors in over 38 countries, including recent work with refugees in Ukraine and orphanages in Haiti and India. What started as a music ministry has grown into a global effort to care for widows, orphans, and the unreached—often in dangerous or politically unstable regions. He and Mike both emphasize that God often uses unlikely people in unexpected ways, encouraging listeners to be willing, available, and open to the burdens God places on their hearts. Through faith, obedience, and divine appointments, their ministries continue to grow, serving as a reminder that God’s plans are far greater than our own qualifications or limitations.
