Life-changing moments, have you ever had these moments? I have had several throughout the course of my life. The one that stands out the most is what I like to call my miracle. God has called me to be a missionary. The spark was lit in me a few years ago on the first mission trip I took to Peru. I didn't know what to expect. When I got home, I knew that I wanted to do it again. I surrendered to God and asked him to show me my purpose because "I" didn't know what to do with my life and I felt lost. God sent me on many trips since then and opened the eyes of my heart to love those who are the least in the world. He placed a strong desire in my heart to be a missionary. I prayed for the opportunity to do it for more than a few weeks. My heart desires to do it for the rest of my life. I knew that God had to decided when I was ready and his timing is perfect. I heard God's call and answered it. I am so excited and overjoyed to serve God this way and in all the ways he asks me to. Thank you Father for my miracle.
A journal of my calling to serving the Lord in South Africa. It started off with building homes for orphans which has led to me serving more long-term. I work with the local pastor and my ministry partner in caring for orphans and doing ministry through various outreach program.
