How blessed are we to minister at our first ministry point? It is an absolute privilege to go out into the nations as ambassadors for Jesus and to see how He moves. Going out into the unknown was both exciting and nerve wracking, but we learned if you have no expectations you won’t have any disappointments! Arriving at our new Missions House, the smell of a home cooked meal welcomed us. We were blessed with beds and warm showers after our two day travel. Isn’t God wonderful? For the next 5 days the team dove straight into work. Many empty paint cans and dirty brushes later, the...

East Asia – Being a true follower of Christ

Written by One Year Expedition on September 22, 2023. Posted in One Year Expedition 2023. No Comments on East Asia – Being a true follower of Christ

This was our first time in a country where Christians are openly persecuted. Christians here are thrown in jail or given a death sentence for saying the name Jesus.

What does it look like to take up your cross daily, or to deny yourself and follow Jesus? Jesus said in Luke 9:23, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.’ What does this mean? When Jesus...
