The Hard Work

At some point in my life, I am going to be a missionary! My name is Isabelly. I come from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, and I am currently serving as a missionary in Guinea-Bissau. Since I was young, my heart has been passionate about missionary stories. I have always been convinced…

A Friendship Prepared by God

My story with Amina began in a rather unusual way, through an app that connects people interested in learning each other’s languages. I was interested in learning Arabic, and she wanted to improve her English. I was never one to use apps to meet new people, but this time I…

When the Gospel Arrives Slowly

A Hug From God

Clouded eyes stared at the floor as I sat cross-legged in our nearly empty bedroom. One week—that is all the time we had to pack up our lives. Now, it was the second-to-last day, and the weight of it all finally broke me. We ate dinner outside—no usable table left…
