One Mission, One Message…

Everyone has significant moments in their life; moments that are so impactful they change you forever. My most impactful moment occurred when I first understood what Jesus Christ had done for me. I remember how I felt leading up to that day, isolated and burdened because of my sin, knowing that when I died, I would have to give an account to my Creator.

I knew that no matter how good I tried to be, no matter what I did, the guilt from my sin remained. God was perfect, heaven was perfect, but I wasn’t. How could God love someone as sinful as me? How could a perfect God even think about letting me in to heaven? I greatly feared death knowing that I would have to answer for my sin.

This was my mindset seconds before I heard a message that changed my life forever. Through a very simple gospel presentation, I came to understand the good news of Jesus Christ. As I listened, I saw myself before a holy God, ready to receive the guilty verdict and punishment for my sin.

I then saw in my mind Jesus on the cross, realizing for the first time that HE had taken that punishment for me. Wow! There was nothing left to be done. Jesus had paid it all and His resurrection proved it was true. My response was to trust in Him and what He had done for me.

My eyes were opened and my burden was lifted. I experienced the joy of knowing that I had a relationship with my Creator that would last forever, not because of what I had done, but because of what Christ had done for me.

My heart’s desire is to be used by God to share the good news I heard that day with the world and equip and encourage other believers to do the same. That is also the passion and calling of EvanTell, the ministry where I serve as Director of International Ministries. We believe that when the gospel is communicated clearly, it has the power to change the life of anyone, anywhere, at any time.

My prayer is that this blog would be an encouragement to you as I share my heart about evangelism and how God is working around the world to give people hope through the good news of Jesus Christ.
