Saying yes to God can feel simple in theory and brutal in real life, especially when the assignment changes. I sit down with Kelly, a longtime missionary connected to Divine Mission Ministry in Malawi, and we talk honestly about what happened when God nudged her toward a Middle East missions trip instead. The pushback was real: safety concerns, financial questions, and the quiet fear of disappointing the people she loves. Under all of it was a deeper question many Christians carry: “Did I really mean it when I said I’d go wherever You send me?”

Kelly shares what it felt like to arrive and realize she would be teaching foundations discipleship training in front of leaders who were already experts. That old insecurity hit hard: why would God use me when someone else is more prepared? The turning point is a powerful “donkey” vision that reframes her role. In Malawi she felt like the donkey carrying others into ministry; in the Middle East she understood she was called to tend the donkeys, to encourage and strengthen believers who will carry the gospel into dark places.

We also get practical about spiritual warfare and staying steady: journaling, lamenting like the Psalms, confessing fear, sitting in silence, and letting Scripture answer anxiety. Along the way, Kelly tells stories that spotlight the urgency of global missions right now, including believers traveling for hours to get trained, the reality of persecution, and an unforgettable testimony of an Uber driver who helped someone choose Jesus. If you care about Christian missions, disciple making, spiritual gifts, and learning how to hear God’s voice in uncertainty, this conversation will meet you where you are and call you forward.
