It’s hard to stop reminiscing what we experienced in Southeast Asia.
What a privilege it was to serve alongside an incredible team—encouraging pastors, women, prison ministries, and children through God’s Word, care packages, prayer, and fellowship. We witnessed His love in beautiful ways and were reminded that the Gospel unites people across cultures, languages, and tribes.
One of the greatest blessings was that Michael, Elijah, and I each had the opportunity to share our testimonies and teach about the harvest that awaits those who are willing to step out in faith.
My younger self could never imagine that I would have the opportunity to travel around the world, with my family, to be called into missions. I grew up not having faith, made many mistakes, fell into the temptation to do whatever I wanted to do, risking for the consequences that I would have to carry shame and guilt, and not feeling worthy.
But with God’s grace and mercy, He sent His son Jesus to the cross to pay the debt of my sins and for me to know what faith and love truly is. It’s believing that His plans are far better and bigger than what I have ever imagined.
God is inviting us to lift our eyes higher. To look beyond what we see. To trust beyond what we understand. To believe beyond what seems possible.
Because the God who promised the harvest is faithful. And in His perfect time, you will reap a beautiful harvest of joy.
