Go Now Missions

I have found the word “work” to be one of the hardest words to define when speaking about ministry here in the Northwest.

I came to California not knowing what to expect, but knowing that I need to be obedient to the call of making disciples among all the nations.

The following day, our team of 11 split up and four of us volunteered to do a 24-hour shift at Skala, which is a stage two refugee camp. 

How often do we pause to think about God's love for us? The depth of God's love that caused Him to take our debt so that we may live with Him forever. 

The Lord is always good, but the Lord has been especially good these passed few days here on the island of Lesvos, Greece. The beauty here is unimaginable.

I have been in South Asia for 10 full days and I can honestly say that everything is completely different from anything I've known before. 

The ceremony, held May 22 at Dallas Baptist University, welcomed both past and present Go Now missionaries to celebrate students who have gone and are going to the ends of the earth.

One of my favorite quotes is from Jim Elliot, “So many missionaries, intent on something forget that His main work is to make something of them.”

What truths or experiences capture a heart to burden it with the task of reaching a lost world?

God is full of wisdom, and I’m impressed how He knows every heart and mind. One of the activities that I was part of this weekend was a race with obstacles.

College students around the country know that South Padre Island is the place to go for a good time during spring break. 

It was around 12:30 a.m., Wednesday morning of the third week of Beach Reach. Students were assembled in their assigned roles around the island. 

Home to nearly 2.2 million people, Houston is labeled the fourth most populous city in the nation and has over 145 languages spoken. Along with its large population and immense diversity comes more startling statistics:

How does God work to save a man from taking his own life? How can a clinic team and two pastors reach a man in his darkest hour? God alone can be the explanation.

Last July, I felt the Holy Spirit nudging my heart. "You're going to serve me overseas next summer, daughter."

As a former GoNow missionary, I had the opportunity of serving on the Prayer Team for Go Now's Discovery Weekend this year. My perspective has been broadened concerning missions through my experience with Go Now.

Going into the mission, I did not know what to expect. I knew we would be working with orphans and giving them shoes, but this mission was so much more than that. God used this mission to open my heart to what He calls us all to do - bring others to Christ.

I am convinced God has a sense of humor; He takes the most entertaining situations and uses them to build His character in us. Our first experience was the three-hour bus ride from Montego Bay to Harmons.
