So, looking back a few years ago. Being newly saved after God had recently and radically changed my life, I had a strong desire to share the gospel with the lost and see many souls healed and delivered from the powers of darkness. As I began to experience His beautiful love more and more, my desire to share him on a larger scale continued to grow. I remember reading Jeremiah 20:9 and asking God to please put His Word in my heart like a burning fire so that I would be weary of holding it back and would have to speak it. During this season, I started doing street evangelism and open-air preaching. As I continued going out and doing this every week, my boldness and desire to speak the Word of God continued to grow.
I have since had the opportunity to go to dark places and have cried many tears and prayed with people who were hurting and broken just as I once was. God continued to show me the part of Isaiah 6:8 which says, “Here am I! Send me.” Prophetically He has spoken that He is calling me to the nations.
In March, a mentor from my church who disciples me felt God telling him to take me to the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. During our weekend trip I had a powerful experience with God’s love while there and began weeping for the lost who do not know Jesus. A pastor that we were staying with mentioned World Race to me and told me that he thought I would be a great fit for it. As I began to talk to people about their experiences with this organization I started to receive confirmation in my heart about doing this. I had just memorized and been meditating on a verse that one of my mentors had shared with me which says:
He says, “You will do more than restore the people of Israel to me.
I will make you a light to the Gentiles,
and you will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.”
-Isaiah 49:6
Through this passage of scripture and many others, I felt God confirming this missionary/training opportunity with me. I am so pumped and super excited to do this and continue to lead the lost to Jesus!!! Please consider partnering with me in prayer and/or financial support.
