Welcome back to another episode of Go When God Calls!

Today’s episode is close to my heart as I celebrate 24 years of God’s faithfulness here in Mozambique, Africa. When I stepped off the plane on December 15, 2000, I thought I was saying yes to just one year. Little did I know what God had planned. This isn’t just my story; it’s a story of stepping out in faith and trusting God with the unknown. Whether you feel called to serve in your church, love your neighbors, or go to another country, this episode is for you. God’s plans are bigger than we can imagine, and when you say “yes,” He will equip you every step of the way.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or unsure when God calls you to do something, I’ve been there, too. But here’s what I’ve learned: God doesn’t call the equipped; He equips those who say yes. From driving a Land Rover in Africa for the first time to trusting God for provision, I’ve seen Him show up time and time again. And if you’re feeling tired or like your efforts don’t matter, remember this: God is at work behind the scenes, and your faithfulness today impacts generations to come. Don’t give up—your yes matters.

Scriptures Shared:

• 1 Corinthians 3:6 – "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow."
• Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
• Galatians 6:9 – "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap the harvest if we do not give up."

What I’ve Been Thinking About: "Missions is not a solo journey. Those who go and those who give are partners in completing God’s mission. Your role matters—whether you’re stepping out in faith or supporting others who do."

Quote to Remember: “God doesn’t call the equipped; He equips those who say yes.”

Welcome to Go When God Calls! In today’s episode, I talk about those sudden, powerful moments when God moves and changes everything. These encounters don’t come from our striving but from His grace and perfect timing. I share stories from the Bible about how God shows up unexpectedly to bring transformation. Whether it’s Moses at the burning bush or the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost, these moments remind us that God is always working, even when we don’t see it.

I’ve been praying for this kind of encounter—for my family, the teenage boys I work with in Mozambique, and this nation. Revival begins with God’s presence and timing, not our efforts. I encourage you to pray for a fresh encounter with God, one that changes your life and strengthens your faith. Let’s trust His timing and believe that He is working for our good. If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who may need to hear about God’s faithfulness. Join me next week for another episode of Go When God Calls!

• Isaiah 43:19 – "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"

• Exodus 3:5-6 – "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground."

• Acts 9:3-6 – "As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' 'Who are you, Lord?' Saul asked. 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' he replied. 'Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.'"

In this final episode on Saul's transformation into Paul, we reflect on the powerful legacy he left. Through letters like Romans and Philippians and the relationships he nurtured, Paul shows us that our actions today can ripple into future generations. His example reminds us to use the tools at our disposal—whether letters or social media—to share the gospel and invest in others.

Legacy isn’t about achievements but the lives we touch. Like Paul, we can plant seeds of faith that grow far beyond what we see. This week, reflect on how you can use your words, actions, and resources to build God’s kingdom. Pray for opportunities to encourage others and make an eternal impact by sharing God’s love.

Here's What I’ve Been Thinking

Our legacy isn’t about what we achieve—it’s about the lives we touch and the seeds of faith we plant. Like Paul, we can use our words, actions, and resources to leave a lasting impact for God’s kingdom. Whether it’s encouraging someone in their faith, mentoring a young believer, or partnering with a missionary, our efforts can ripple far beyond what we see.

This week, take a moment to reflect: How can you use what God has given you to build His kingdom? Pray for opportunities to encourage others or support someone on their journey. Remember, the eternal impact of our actions today is immeasurable. Let’s make the most of every opportunity to share God’s love with the world.

Highlighted Scriptures:

• Philippians 4:13 – "I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
• Philippians 1:3-5 – Paul's gratitude for gospel partnerships.
• 2 Corinthians 9:7 – The joy of cheerful giving.
• Philippians 4:17 – A reminder of the eternal rewards of generosity.
• 2 Timothy 4:7-8 – "I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith."

In this fourth episode of our series on Saul's transformation into Paul, I dive into his missionary journey, exploring the challenges he faced and the incredible perseverance that kept him going. From beatings and imprisonments to shipwrecks and hunger, Paul never wavered in his mission to share the gospel. I also reflect on the significance of his name change from Saul to Paul and how it symbolizes his adaptability and commitment to meeting people where they were. Whether as a tentmaker or supported by partners like the Philippian church, Paul's approach reminds us that mission work is a team effort, built on partnership, faith, and hard work.

As we think about Paul's ability to adapt, I challenge you to consider how God may be calling you to be part of His mission—whether by going, giving, or praying. This week, pray for missionaries worldwide and think about how you can partner in their journey.

Scripture Mentioned:

• 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."

What I've Been Thinking: "Mission work is a team effort. Whether we go, give, or pray, we're part of God's mission to reach the world. Like Paul, we can adapt and use every opportunity to share His love.

Today, I shared about Saul’s incredible transformation after his sight was restored. His first steps as a new believer were marked by baptism, a powerful commitment to follow Jesus publicly, even though he had once opposed Him. Without hesitation, he began sharing the gospel, boldly proclaiming that Jesus is the Son of God. Saul’s story reminds me that with God, anyone can start fresh, no matter their past. It’s a powerful example of how we, too, can embrace new beginnings and live out God’s purpose for our lives.

Reflecting on Saul’s journey brought up memories of my own challenges in Mozambique, especially during a season when I felt immense pressure to leave. At that time, God reminded me of the work that was still needed and gave me the strength to stay. Sometimes, when we step into the new things God calls us to, it’s not easy—there are doubts, and it takes courage to trust in His timing. Saul’s journey—and mine—both show how, when God calls us, He gives us what we need to keep moving forward, even through the hardest times.

Welcome back to our five-part series! Today, we’re diving into Episode 2, "Ananias: Obedience and God’s Call." Last time, we explored Saul’s life-changing encounter with God, and now we’ll look at Ananias—a regular man who was asked to do something brave and surprising. Even though Ananias was scared to approach Saul because of Saul's reputation, he still chose to trust and obey God. Through this story, we’re reminded that God knows us deeply, has chosen us, and has a plan for each of us, just like He had for Saul.

Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart...and He will direct your paths.” Just as Ananias trusted and obeyed despite his fears, we, too, are called to step out in faith—even when it feels uncomfortable. This week, I encourage you to ask God for the courage to follow His lead. God sees the bigger picture and can use anyone, including you, to fulfill His purpose. Thanks for joining, and I can’t wait to continue our journey next week. God bless!

Welcome to Go When God Calls. In today’s episode, “The Encounter on the Road to Damascus,” I talk about Saul’s incredible experience with Jesus that changed everything for him. I’ll be sharing what I’ve been learning about Paul’s journey—from someone who persecuted Christians to becoming a missionary who shared the gospel courageously. His story reminds us that no one is out of God’s reach

Saul’s journey on the road to Damascus shows how God can bring His light to even the darkest places. God used temporary blindness to help Saul see the truth about Jesus for the first time. And just like that, sometimes we need God to intervene, opening our eyes to His path for us. This episode is the first in a five-part series about Saul’s transformation into Paul. Each week, we’ll discover more about his journey and how it encourages us today. Join me as we learn together how God’s light leads us, no matter where we are.

In this episode of Go When God Calls, I reflect on a recent interview with Ryan Reger on his podcast, Unleashed. I share my thoughts on "putting things on the shelf," which is about hearing from God but not rushing to make things happen on our own timeline. This approach shaped my journey as a missionary, from receiving prophetic words about serving African children to trusting God’s perfect timing for everything to unfold. I’ve learned that holding on too tightly to dreams can lead to frustration but surrendering them to God brings peace and fulfillment.

I also talk about times when I felt discouraged or tried to force things ahead of God’s timing. By looking to scriptures like Isaiah 55:8-9, Psalm 27:14, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Hebrews 11:1, I hope to encourage you to trust God’s perfect plan, even when it seems delayed. As Neal A. Maxwell said, “Faith in God includes faith in His timing.” My prayer is that you find hope in God’s faithfulness and continue waiting with patience, knowing His plan is always best.

Scriptures:

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Psalm 27:14 (NIV) “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
