What happens when God asks you to do something that feels uncomfortable—or even impossible?

In this episode, I share some of my experiences from more than 25 years of missionary life in Mozambique. We talk about faith in action, trusting God, and taking the next step when He calls.

We all have a part in God’s mission. Some are called to go, some are called to send, and all of us are called to pray and encourage one another. Every role matters.

You do not have to know everything or do everything perfectly. You only need to take the next step God is asking you to take.

• What it means to put faith into action

• Why goers, senders, and prayer partners all matter

• How partnership can make a lasting, generational impact

• Trusting God when you do not feel qualified

• Taking the next step without seeing the entire journey

Hebrews 11:1 James 2:17 Matthew 28:19

In this episode, I share what God taught me during a recent furlough home from Mozambique.

I went home expecting to keep podcasting, stay active on social media, continue leading Beacon of Hope Africa from afar, and spend time with family. Instead, God used that season to teach me about rest, surrender, and the importance of being present in the moments He gives us.

I talk about the reality of missionary furlough, the sacrifices families make, the responsibility of carrying ministry from another country, and how sometimes God asks us to pause so we can focus on what matters most.

Sometimes pausing does not mean stopping. Sometimes it means trusting God with what we cannot do and being faithful in the season He has placed before us.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."

This episode originally aired on February 28, 2024 and marked the very beginning of the Go When God Calls podcast.

I’m resharing it now because the message is still the same — God calls ordinary people, and our yes matters more than our confidence or clarity. Since this episode first aired, God has continued to grow Beacon of Hope Africa, the Go Missionary Network, and the lives connected to this journey.

Below, you’ll find updated links and resources that reflect what God is doing now, while the heart of this episode remains unchanged.

🎙️ GO WHEN GOD CALLS — EPISODE 1

My Story of Saying Yes to God

Welcome to the very first episode of the Go When God Calls podcast.

In this episode, I share my personal testimony and how God directed my steps toward missions — even though I was initially reluctant. Despite my hesitation, I eventually said “yes” to God’s call and committed my life to serving on the mission field.

This episode is the beginning of a journey shaped by obedience, faith, and learning to trust God one step at a time.
