In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to get caught up in our own plans and ambitions. Yet, as a missionary serving in Mexico, I’ve learned firsthand the importance of surrendering to God’s plan and trusting in His timing. Join me as I reflect on the role of faith in our journey of serving others and spreading the love of Jesus.

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight One of the fundamental principles of being a missionary is stepping out in faith, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. Whether it’s navigating language barriers, cultural differences, or logistical challenges, each day presents an opportunity to lean on God’s guidance and provision. As the Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Finding Strength in Prayer Prayer has been my lifeline in the mission field, offering solace in times of doubt and strength in moments of weakness. Through prayer, I’ve witnessed miracles unfold and hearts transformed by the power of God’s love. It’s a reminder that no matter the obstacles we face, we can find refuge in His presence and assurance in His promises.

Embracing God’s Timing In a world that values instant gratification and quick results, waiting patiently on the Lord can be a challenging lesson to learn. Yet, I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of God’s perfect timing, which often surpasses our own understanding. As Psalm 27:14 reminds us, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”

As we journey together in faith, may we be reminded of the importance of trusting in God’s plan, finding strength in prayer, and embracing His timing. Whether we’re serving in Mexico or in our own communities, let us walk boldly in the assurance that God is with us every step of the way. Together, let’s continue to spread His love and light to the ends of the earth.
