Jesus: “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)

The reason you see me here is because I believe that Jesus is proven to be God. You see my picture as a Missionary Associate because I believe God said to tell people the facts. My Mission field isn’t found in a location but in obedience. I am not called to one place but to be obedient wherever I am.

Jesus: “you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

Where that has lead to is Côte d'Ivoire and now that is currently my “end’s of the earth”. Alaska is my “Jerusalem” and America is my “Judea and Samaria”.

Jesus: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, … teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20a)

I am not a professional anything but I can obey. I can listen and follow instructions. I started this journey just doing what I could. I didn’t jump straight to Missionary Associate but just started praying what Jesus said to pray.

Jesus: “Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:38)

I did what I could with what I had and God eventually asked a question.

God: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?”

Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

And He said, “Go,…” (Isaiah 6:8-9a)

I am not going on my own power but with expectation that God can use me. I am not going as a representative of myself but of Jesus. He is the one doing the work and I will just be following instructions. I like Moses am not a public speaker but also also like Moses I have a God that is.

God: “Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.” (Exodus 4:12)

We all have a home, we all have a nation, and we all have a world. Jesus didn’t say pick one but instead do all three. What you see in my life is my attempt at doing just that. I try to be the best witness in person, I try to be the best witness to my nation (https://www.facebook.com/GodOrBust), and as an Missionary Associate you see me trying to witness to the World.

How you can help is Prayer. I am just flesh and blood and the battle is not happening in that realm. I need spiritual help more than anything else. I need prayer because I know I will not make this on my own strength.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

The purpose of what you are reading is to request prayer because I am only one but one can make a difference. My petition is for prayer because I need partners in the heavenly places. God will provide what I need but I know that more often then not that is performed through others. My opinion is God likes to partner with us as we partner with people. God said the most important thing is to love God and people (Matthew 22:39) and God doesn’t normally take away our opportunity to love people. I think God wants to help us to do the work and not just do the work for us.
