Following Jesus

Some seasons feel fresh and new—alive with hope, discovery, and possibility. Others feel harsh and cold, marked by loss, uncertainty, or difficult stretching.

Prayer may be the most powerful thing we can do as believers, and certainly one way everyone can participate in missions.

There are moments in life when the noise quiets, the striving ceases, and something sacred fills the stillness. I call these Patmos Moments—those precious times when the Holy Spirit breathes divine insight into our spirits, often when we are quiet enough to truly listen.

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” – Hebrews 13:16 (NIV)

When we think of giving, we often think of finances. And while that’s a key part of it, Kingdom generosity is much more than what’s in our wallet—it’s about the posture of our hearts and the willingness to surrender our time, our talents, and our treasures for God’s glory.

In a world where the gospel is still unknown to billions, the call to missions is not optional—it’s essential. As Global Christians, we are invited and commanded to participate in God’s redemptive plan through various missional activities: Sending, Mobilizing, Praying, Welcoming, and Going. Each of these activities reflects a heart aligned with God’s mission and cultivates spiritual maturity, discipline, and deeper faith.

God surprised us with unexpected answers to prayers during our seven-month whirlwind after being accepted as members of Wycliffe Bible Translators.

We are called to be stepping along on our journey to be directed to restore this imperfect world.
