Made a Missionary

I am so excited and humbled to be given the opportunity to be a missionary associate in Spain. This has been a call God has been developing since I was 16 years old. I remember as clear as day, God called me into a ministry at my youth group small group. In the quiet of my mind I had this conversation with God.

God: Say yes to ministry training. You are set a part.
Me: Okay, I will do ministry. But I will not be a missionary, please? I really don't want to live and have a family over seas.
God: (crickets...)
Me: ummmm cool! We agree!

Fast forward a few years. God began to whisper to my heart and highlight the issue of sex trafficking in our world. In 2013 I was at a church Conference attending a mission a giving luncheon. There was a banned of the different countries names all over it. Out of the 50 or so countries written on the banner, one stood out to me. INDIA. I could not un-see it. India stood out so clearly to me and again in the quiet of my heart I heard God spirit highlight India and call me to go there. I believe God was making me into a missionary.

I had no clue what would come later....

All the Best,
