As a missionary and follower of Jesus, I’ve spent many years serving others in a variety of contexts. This journey has exposed me to the diverse challenges and successes experienced by people from every corner of the globe.
A missionary’s work is never complete as long there are unreached among God’s people. He brings power, restoration, and miracles to the world through prayer and so this month we asked our missionaries:
Still in disbelief, I looked at the picture they had taken when the patient had arrived. The staff were also surprised by the patient’s mode of transportation. I eventually found out that they traveled “many miles” to get to the hospital.
You might be wondering how I ended up in Romania. The short answer is—God brought me here. My calling to overseas missions began long before I recognized it. At age four, I understood and received the message of salvation.
It can be hard to imagine what the reality of missionary life is truly like, before you've experienced it firsthand. We asked some of our missionaries about the gap between their expectations and experiences on the field.
