"God Given Responsibility"

Sept. 26th, 2025

God has entrusted each of us with a purpose bigger than ourselves. The gifts, talents, and opportunities we have aren’t random. They’re assignments from Heaven. With every breath, we carry a responsibility to live in a way that points others back to Him.

This responsibility isn’t a burden, but a calling. It’s God saying, “I’ve placed you here, in this moment, for such a time as this.” Whether it’s through words, actions, or how we love people, everything we do is a chance to reflect Christ.

Reflecting on this, it humbles me. It challenges me. And it excites me. Because if God has called us, He has also equipped us. We’re not left alone. His Spirit strengthens us to carry out what He’s entrusted to us.

For me, being social is a huge mountain that I am working on overcoming. Making myself make small talk. My shyness should not prevent someone from finding salvation. So get out there and practice. :)

“To whom much is given, much will be required.” (Luke 12:48)

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” (Colossians 3:23)

This is my prayer: that I would never take lightly the God-given responsibility in my life, and that I would live boldly for His Kingdom every single day. That God will give me strength and endurance, as I overcome my awkwardness.

"Why Evangelism Feels Scary (and Why It’s Worth It)"

Sept 29, 2025

Why does it feel easier to talk about our favorite sports team, new car, or latest Netflix show than it does to talk about Jesus? If we’re honest, evangelism can feel scary. But maybe that fear is exactly why it’s worth doing. 

Would you say that the enemy (the devil) uses any way he can to stop the good news of Jesus Christ from getting to people? Placing fear, insecurity, and thoughts of unworthiness into the minds of Christians to stop them from growing God's kingdom? The devil uses creative ways to stop or slow that. And that's why it's so worth it to spread the gospel despite our fears or shyness. The devil hates it when the gospel is shared. Scripture says he tries to blind people from seeing the truth (2 Cor. 4:4) and even snatches the word from hearts (Mark 4:15). That’s how you know it matters—because hell itself trembles when Jesus is preached.

We should evangelize, not just to spite the devil, but to obey Jesus. The great commission isn't a suggestion (Matt 28:19-20). If you discovered the cure to cancer... would you keep it to yourself? NO! You would go around to cancer patients and doctors, telling them about it correctly. In the same way, you know the cure to eternal darkness, and it's Jesus. So go around and tell the lost about it!! 

Telling the gospel does not just grow others, but it also grows you. It stretches your faith and deepens dependence on God. Spreading the gospel isn't easy, but it's so so worth it. "hell, it's self trembles when Jesus is preached." Think of it as a battle. The devil is hitting you with thoughts like "I can't do this," "How am I worthy to tell the gospel," "What if they don't want to hear it," "You'll be rejected." We have to fight back against those thoughts. 

At the end of the day, evangelism is not about having perfect words or never feeling nervous. It’s about showing up, being obedient, and letting God work through you. Fear will always whisper, but faith speaks louder. The devil may try to silence you, but every time you open your mouth to share Jesus, light breaks into darkness. Remember this: success in evangelism isn’t about the results—it’s about obedience. God does the saving, we do the sharing. So the next time you feel that fear rise, see it for what it is—proof that what you’re about to say matters for eternity. Step forward, open your mouth, and let heaven’s cure be heard.

"What I've Learned So Far"

Oct 19, 2025

Each person has a story. Individually having "X" amount of years, meeting people, and having their own encounters and experiences. A list of events that made them, them. Stories including an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. I think we often forget that. 

I just started a new job. A second job, rather, and my first day consists of training. I met the lead of the department I work in, a man who, at first handshake, seemed intimidating. He was tall, loud, and my boss at my new job. He walked me through the building, teaching me the ways, showing me all the ins and outs, and responsibilities. At that time, I was just trying not to mess up, let him down, or make him mad. I would make a comment that he wouldn't hear, and he would raise his eyebrow in a way that seemed disappointed and say, "Hm?" I would stutter and repeat. 

Back in the office, we would get to talking. I would learn that he was a firefighter, that he had lost a lot of people throughout his life, friends, family, and mentors. I would learn that he has had cancer, multiple times, that he died while on the operating table, and had an out-of-body experience where he would realize that there must be a God that loves him, because how else would he be here today? I would learn that the intimidating man wasn't angry, but a man who got the food drive going at our local Fred Meyer. A man who goes out of his way to make sure people are seen and safe on the scene of an accident. A man who knows God but has been distant lately. 

You don't know the story until you read the book. It's easy to get caught up in the "This is my time to shine" mentality of telling the gospel and forget that you're talking to a person with a story. What I've learned is that we need to slow down as Christians and approach people with love like Jesus did. Jesus didn't run up on people; he sat down with them and broke bread. He slowed down and talked with them. In John 4, the woman at the well, Jesus didn't start with "you need to repent," he started with a conversation. He asked for water, which caught her off guard, and then listened and responded to her story- her background, her pain, her confusion. We should do the same. 

Evangelize with love. 

Florida Outreach - "A Soulwinning Experience"

Nov 10, 2025

Months before boarding my Florida plane, a conviction came to mind. How am I walking like Jesus? How am I being obedient in following The Great Commission, as said in Matthew 28:19-20: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you." Not, "if you want to. " Go, if you're comfortable." It's a God given responsibility to tell people about him. Should your shyness, fear of being rejected, or your thoughts that you're not worthy dictate whether someone goes to heaven? That was a conviction of mine. I'm passing God's children daily who don't know Christ and walk blindly towards eternal death. I have the key to their salvation, and I let them pass because it was inconvenient. I was shy, scared that someone might not like me. COME ON GUYS!! The harvest is plentiful!! Get out there and talk to someone!! I'll talk about what I learned while here in Florida, being taught by my great aunt, who has been a missionary and pastor for years. She showed me a super-easy, but powerful way to teach the gospel. Described at the bottom.

Thank you, Aunt Marjoke and Uncle Michael, for doing all the planning! I learned something at every outreach. A huge thank you to Joanna as well!! Thank you for driving me to outreaches! 

My time in Florida doing homeless ministry was one of the most powerful and eye-opening experiences of my life. Every day, we stepped out with nothing but open hearts and the love of God, and I saw firsthand how deeply His presence can touch people. I learned that evangelism isn’t about having perfect words or polished speeches—it’s about being available, compassionate, and Spirit-led. There were so many moments when all we did was mention God’s love, and people would immediately break down in tears, encountering His presence right there on the streets. Through those encounters, I grew bolder in sharing my faith, more sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s prompting, and more confident in letting God do the work through me. This trip taught me that true ministry begins with humility, love, and the willingness to simply show up and let God move.

One of the most unforgettable parts of the trip was witnessing God’s power move in ways I’d only heard about before. I saw physical healing right in front of my eyes—someone who had shoulder issues felt better and could move; he was completely in awe of what just happened. Moments like that reminded me that the same God who healed in Scripture is still healing today. Even more incredible was seeing around 30 people give their lives to Jesus during my time there. Each salvation was a story of transformation—people weeping, surrendering their addictions, and feeling seen and loved, often for the first time in years. It was humbling to realize that God allowed me to be part of something so much bigger than myself. Florida taught me that revival doesn’t need a stage or a microphone; it just needs a willing heart, a listening ear, and the courage to share the hope of Jesus wherever He leads.

You can do the same, right where you are. The soul-winning script is so easy and powerful that all you have to do is read it. Two little girls brought two rugged bikers to Christ; one girl could barely read, but her sister helped.
