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

In studying the Christmas story recently, I was reminded of the overwhelming ministry Joseph and Mary were given. They were tasked with parenting the Messiah. I found it incredibly revealing to look at how the Father called them into ministry and just as incredible to see how they responded.

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.

One day He will return in the same way He ascended. Will He find us standing and gazing into heaven, or will He find us busy at the work He has given us to do?

“When I arrive on the mission field, I’ll be more consistent with my quiet times.” Have you ever thought that? I did, before I entered the field. We would agree that if Jesus spent time in prayer and communion with His Father, sometimes all night, we ought to do the same. However, Christians, whether missionaries or not, frequently confess that finding the minutes for a consistent quite time can be challenging.

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