"Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God” - Bob Pierce

Reverend Robert "Bob" Pierce was an evangelist to China and Founder of World Vision and Samaritan Purse: two organizations centered on aiding the less fortunate...


"Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God" is a profound statement Bob Pierce made, but I have found myself praying for the same thing occasionally.

A Heart For The Nations

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16

The other day I went to visit the other daughter works of North Cities UPC after service ended.    I was amazed at the atmosphere of worship created during service even though there were not many of us. It reminded me of a Full Gospel Church I had the pleasure of visiting once while touring the motherland. There were people literally on their knees crying out to God and praying in the spirit over there which moved my heart. I feel that God is developing a heart in me for the nations which is something I never thought would happen. I have felt a burden for a while to support missionaries although it is hard to imagine myself doing the exact work of a "missionary." Now I understand why I grew up with so much diversity around me at the schools I attended and through my friendships. I have always loved learning about other cultures and languages growing up! Now the Lord is slowly opening doors of opportunities in front of me and making the right connections. I can't wait until I begin visiting other nations all over the world one day. Nothing beats two hours of unstructured praise and worship outdoors! Right now, I know God is training and preparing me where He has currently placed me. I now feel comfortable sharing the gospel and love of God with random strangers. 

I know I'll feel right at home being in their midst one day!

30 Days of Prayer for that Special Someone

Recently, a friend of mine inspired me to start a daily prayer journal for my future hubby in order to cover him and our ministry with prayer. Instead of wasting time serial dating all the wrong guys, start investing time in prayer for the right one! I believe it is important to learn how to be kingdom minded (Matt. 6:33) and put the Lord first before marriage so that He will remain the first priority during marriage. You can start by having devotionals together and investing more time in spiritual things such as prayer which will discipline you both spiritually. In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. I don’t know about you, but I want a kingdom marriage and mindset which glorifies God and that can only happen when He is the head of our household and the center of our lives. Take Aquila and Priscilla for example; everywhere in scripture you see them together, complementing one another in ministry. :)

Starting this prayer journal has allowed me to exercise spiritual discipline and consistency on a daily basis. No matter how busy I may get or how late it is in the night, I have learned to always make time for Him! I wasn't planning on sharing this journal, but I felt parts of it may help someone who reads this one day so please keep that in mind. :)

I believe this Journal entry may expand into prayer for my children and nation as well in the future, so stay tuned!

Train Up A Child In The Way He Should Go...

I have no clue how I came across this video today, but I'm glad I did! It touched me to see someone so young on fire for God and being used mightily for His glory! Jekalyn Carr (no relation to Kurt Carr) is a 15 year old traveling Evangelist who knew the call of God on her life from a young age and answered it. This is the result of two parents who recognized the call on their child's life and with God's guidance, knew how to "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." [Proverbs 22:6] It is important for parents to be forerunners- not only for their kids, but the generations to come. I just wanted to take the time to encourage the younger generations to "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." [Philippians 3:14] The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." [1 Tim. 4:12] This young woman is an example to all; you are never too young to be used by God when you live a consecrated life unto Him.

Isaiah Jackson- another child God is raising up for such a time as this! 

"Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength, 
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger." [Psalms 8:2]

'From Catholic to Holy Ghost'- Bro Joseph Conroy

Bro Joesph Conroy

I was browsing through the web one day and stumbled across the testimony of this man. I realized later on that nothing is accidental especially when it comes to God, and I simply enjoyed listening to it!


Bro. Joseph Conroy is a missionary to the Middle East. About two years ago, he shared his testimony at Victory Tabernacle, Burbank CA, about his long journey in seeking the Lords face until he found Him. He uses humor and vivid descriptions to take his audience through his personal journey of life growing up Catholic in Chicago. I could relate to certain parts of his testimony within my own journey in seeking God and the desperation I faced. It states in Jeremiah 29:12-13: "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart," which was proven true in both my life and Bro. Joseph Conroy. "...For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."


By posting this testimony it is not my intention, nor the website's to insult Catholics or people of other religions, but as Bro. Conroy says in his testimony: “I just want you know what life was like inside this thick head, what the world looked like to me.” I understand that everyone will not agree with some of the things mentioned in this audio, but this is simply meant to testify of the Lord's goodness in this mans life and I hope that will be taken into consideration when listening to it.This testimony may be long, but it was definitely worth listening to!
