Happy 25th Anniversary!

This powerful reflection on 25 years of ministry reminds us that God's call on our lives begins earlier than we might imagine and persists longer than we expect. We hear the story of divine calling woven through childhood moments—a five-year-old genuinely encountering Jesus, a six-year-old receiving prophetic words, a ten-year-old responding to a golden rope of destiny. The passage from Jeremiah 1 becomes our anchor: 'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.' We're challenged to abandon the excuse 'I'm too young' or 'I'm too old' and recognize that God speaks to willing hearts at every age. The journey from call to fulfillment is rarely straightforward—we see detours through engineering, music, relationships, and geographic wanderings. Yet like Abraham in Genesis 12, we're invited to leave our comfort zones for lands God will show us. The beauty of this message lies in its honesty about the cost of obedience: broken relationships, financial sacrifice, emotional weight, and the constant temptation to pursue easier paths. But the reward? A community of believers who become family, lives transformed, and the deep satisfaction of saying 'Here I am, send me' every single morning. This isn't just one person's story—it's an invitation for each of us to recognize our own call and respond with courage.
