Hi everyone here are some things the Lord has been putting on my heart! Also my testimony!

What is ministry to the Lord?

Ministry to the Lord is loving Him and loving people. To minister to the Lord means to love Him fully, which naturally requires loving His people well. This is rooted in the greatest commandment to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love others.

Loving God first is the foundation. It starts with intimacy with Him. being with Him before doing for Him. True ministry flows from intimacy, not obligation. As we love the Father, loving people becomes an overflow, because loving others is a direct expression of loving God.

Ministry to the Lord is not about platform or recognition, but about surrender, obedience, and genuine love. God values the heart behind our actions. It is a daily pursuit of intimacy through worship, prayer, and relationship with Him.

It’s not just doing things for God, but walking with Him. As Jesus modeled, ministry is relational taking time to be with people, love them intentionally, and value moments over busyness.

Testimony

I am so blessed to have known and loved the Lord from a young age. I grew up in ministry, with both of my parents working at our church. I have always had a very close relationship with my parents. I talk to them about everything, often seeking their wisdom and counsel, and I truly love spending time with my family. I am also best friends with my sister, and she is one of my greatest gifts.

When I was five years old, I gave my life to the Lord. I vividly remember sitting in the backseat of my mom’s car, saying, “Jesus, I want You in my heart.” From that moment on, the Lord has been my foundation.

When I was eight years old, I was filled with the Holy Spirit while on a boat with my mom and aunt. As they prayed for me, I was filled with overwhelming joy and began speaking in tongues. From that moment on, I experienced a deeper intimacy with the Lord, and this gift became a way I processed fear and found peace.

Growing up as a pastor’s kid, I struggled with the pressure to appear perfect. Because of this, I often kept my distance and only let a few people truly know me. Over time, I experienced betrayal that left me feeling hurt, abandoned, and alone. Without strong godly community, I found myself in isolation. In those moments, I called on the Lord, trusting Him to meet me there.

I struggled with anxiety and depression, but the Lord faithfully brought me out of that place. As I opened up to my mentors and my parents, light was brought into the darkness, and it fled. This season taught me the importance of vulnerability, community, and dependence on the Lord. My testimony is one of His consistent presence in my life.

As I approached my final year of high school, I began seeking the Lord for direction. Through repeated teachings on the Great Commission, He gave me His heart for the nations and a deeper understanding of the urgency of the Gospel. In response, I joined the World Race Gap Year.

Now, as I finish nine months on the field, the Lord has brought me so much freedom and boldness for the Gospel. He has broken my heart for the nations and stirred deep passion in me. In Malaysia, I gained compassion for the Muslim community. In Swaziland, I saw true joy and dependence on the Lord. In Guatemala understanding the importance of intercession while at AHOP. In Honduras, I am learning to submit to where He has placed me and to look for where He is moving.

While being on the field, my personal time with the Lord has become one of my favorite parts of each day. I spend extended time in His Word, in worship, and in prayer, which has deepened my relationship with Him.

Now, I am waiting on the Lord for what is next, seeking Him daily and choosing to be led by the Spirit. I am reminded that a calling is nothing more and nothing less than obedience to the Word of God.

With love from Honduras ❤️
