Ep. 40 - A Leap of Faith: From Military Service to Mission Work with Sidney Gabaldon

In this heartfelt episode, Jean sits down with Sidney Gabaldon, an Air Force veteran who is now stepping into a brand-new calling as a full-time missionary. Sidney shares her inspiring journey from military service to preparing for her first mission assignment in the Middle East. She opens up about how she never saw herself as someone “qualified” to share her faith, and how God gently guided her through doubts, fears, and big life changes to get her to where she is today. From serving in Mexico and doing discipleship work, to a life-changing training experience in Zambia, Sidney talks about how each step brought her closer to saying yes to God's plan. You’ll hear about the challenges of fundraising, the power of obedience, and what it means to boldly share your faith, even when you’re scared. Sidney also encourages women over 50 who may feel “too old” or “too late” to follow a dream. Her message is clear: if God is calling you, He will qualify you. This episode is full of wisdom, courage, and hope for anyone wondering if they still have more to give or more to do in this next chapter of life. Sidney’s story is proof that it’s never too late to answer the call. 🕊️ To support Sidney:📧 Email: [email protected]💖 Donate: overlandmissions.com/donate/letsgo Be sure to keep Sidney in your prayers as she steps into this next mission.  If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a comment and remember to subscribe.
