Twelve years ago, David Small couldn't find Burma on a map. Today, it's home.

David Small has spent more than a decade serving as a Christian missionary in the war zones of Burma (Myanmar), where following God has meant sneaking across borders, navigating landmines, dodging sniper fire, and learning to trust God when there is no way to control what happens next.

In this episode of Witness the Wonder, David shares what happened when a quiet nudge from God led him days into the jungle to a remote village, an extraordinary encounter with a Rohingya Muslim team at a river crossing, and what happened after years of prayer for the people serving within the Burmese government.

You'll also hear the story behind the Jungle Discipleship School, where David and his team disciple young people from across Burma, teach them about Jesus, and prepare them to take the gospel back to their own communities.

David opens up about the personal cost of serving in a war zone, losing nearly 20 people he loved, and the unexpected way God provided exactly what he needed before one of the most difficult seasons of his life.

Through danger, miracles, grief, answered prayer and moments when fear told him to stay, David has learned what it means to trust a living God when he can't see what comes next.

As David says:

“Everyone has their own jungle.”

Your jungle may look nothing like Burma. But what happens when fear says stay and God says go?

This conversation is about faith over fear, hearing God's voice, following the Holy Spirit's nudges, Christian missions, answered prayer, sharing the gospel, trusting God through traumatic experiences, and having the courage to obey God when you don't know what's on the other side of your yes.

#MiracleStory #FaithOverFear #CancerSurvivor #WitnessTheWonder #GodIsFaithful

Last week, Mick Wienholt shared the miraculous story of surviving an avalanche that should have taken his life. But that miracle was only the beginning.

Years later, another unexpected tragedy would bring Mick to his knees and cause him to reach out to the last person he ever expected. That moment would forever change the direction of his life.

In Part 2 of this powerful Christian testimony, you'll discover how God meets us in our deepest pain, why surrender isn't giving up, and how His relentless love continues pursuing us even when we run the other way. It's a story of faith, hope, and finding Jesus Christ when life feels impossible.

Mick also shares practical wisdom on breaking unhealthy family patterns, raising children to know and experience the love of God, and becoming the kind of parent who reflects the Father's heart.

If you've ever questioned God's goodness, wrestled with grief or loss, or wondered whether He is still at work in your life, I pray this conversation encourages you to recognize His hand in your own story.
