"Because you are created with a purpose, you have value."

OMF missions mobilizer Lisa Mellinger joins us on the podcast to share her journey into missions. Often our guests tell us about the family support they had. Lisa's story is different. As a Chinese family living in America, wanting to serve in China when she was young was not looked upon favorably by her parents, a story that Lisa shares with humor looking back on it after so many years.She also shares how God worked in her life, and around her, even as a number of doors were closed to her. Mentioned in this episode:Lisa's article, To Be a Hidden Foreigner, can be found on the MissioNexus site, although an account with them is required to read it.https://missionexus.org/to-be-a-hidden-foreigner-issues-christian-chinese-americans-face-living-in-china/——Originally started as China Inland Mission and now as OMF, our mission is to share the good news of Jesus Christ in all its fullness with East Asia’s peoples to the glory of God.
