Male 32 "It's amazing how God can take people from such different walks of life and use them together in a way that they never thought that they could be capable of!"
"you don't think that places or people like this still exist but they do and probably happier than we do!"
"What a blessing it is just to spend time with these tribal people and allow your life to be a testimony cause english words are no good here!"

way. There were very few luxuries but it was really challenging to observe
how the missionaries and the believers from the village totally depended on God
for their every need. It taught me that God does not show favouritism but
accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. Acts 10 v

Gods work doesn't always need people with learned skills, but people with a
willingness to serve him for his Glory. With a heart that is open to God to
always show us His way.
male – 45 years
I was reminded that while God can use my skills & abilities, above all he merely wants my availability & willingness to do the things that he wants done
