Reluctance Turned Into A Divine Calling

This episode originally aired on February 28, 2024 and marked the very beginning of the Go When God Calls podcast. I’m resharing it now because the message is still the same — God calls ordinary people, and our yes matters more than our confidence or clarity. Since this episode first aired, God has continued to grow Beacon of Hope Africa, the Go Missionary Network, and the lives connected to this journey. Below, you’ll find updated links and resources that reflect what God is doing now, while the heart of this episode remains unchanged. ────────────── ✨ ✨ ✨ ────────────── 🎙️ GO WHEN GOD CALLS — EPISODE 1 My Story of Saying Yes to God Welcome to the very first episode of the Go When God Calls podcast. In this episode, I share my personal testimony and how God directed my steps toward missions — even though I was initially reluctant. Despite my hesitation, I eventually said “yes” to God’s call and committed my life to serving on the mission field. This episode is the beginning of a journey shaped by obedience, faith, and learning to trust God one step at a time. ────────────── ✨ ✨ ✨ ────────────── 🌱 MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Jeri Hill https://www.togetherintheharvest.com Bruce Olson https://www.bruceolson.com https://christianlifemissions.org/project/bruce-olson-ministries ────────────── ✨ ✨ ✨ ────────────── 🌍 BEACON OF HOPE AFRICA Beacon of Hope Africa serves teenage boys in Mozambique by providing a safe home, discipleship, education support, and essential life skills.
