A few months after the Lord saved my life, He started to not only show me more of His heart for me, but His heart for the unreached. In October 2024, God broke my heart for the nations. Suddenly there was an urgency in my Spirit too see the lost come home. I began to walk zealously with the Word of God, because Jesus didn’t only save me so that I could keep His love to myself. He gave me a testimony so that I could tell others what He has done. In Matthew 28:19–20, Jesus gives His followers the command to “go and make disciples of all nations.” The Gospel was never meant to be repeated 1,000 times to people who have already received it, but be given as an invitation of hope and joy to lost people. We are called to go, to preach, to make disciples, and to be witnesses of Christ wherever are feet are and wherever He sends us. Romans 10:14–15 reminds us of the importance of someone going and proclaiming the Good News, and Acts 1:8 says that we are to be Christ’s witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” This isn’t simply a suggestion—it is the COMMAND of EVERY believer.

As God continues to give me a heavy conviction for the lost, I get to be apart of conversations I could not be in on my own. To see healings only He can perform. To see lives transformed by His mercy and Love, and see the freedom of His forgiveness! In September 2025, I traveled to Uganda, Africa, and in July 2026, I went to Ronda, Spain. These trips only increased my intimacy and passion for Christ. The same God who radically changed my life is still changing lives all over the world, and I want my life to be available for whatever He asks of me. My prayer is that I will never lose the burden to make Him known. That I will continue to say yes when it's hard, continue to go, and continue to tell people that there is one God who is pursuing them everyday and has a burning passion to love them.

Am I saying every person should move across the world-no, but we must be willing to go if He asks us too. Are our hearts soft enough to hear him say go?

Back to the title. How Do I Know I Am Called? Because in my heart, Jesus did the softening and whispered "will you go?"

Until every tribe, tongue, and people have heard the name of Jesus, I will go.
