Tangible Testimonies

GoMission.Church printed our very first Year in Review! It has been such a gift to hold a physical copy of written testimonies…something we can place directly into the hands of our ministry partners, pastors, and friends.

I get excited about the ways God uses testimonies…the things He has done in our lives…to impact the lives of others. This past month, I’ve felt surrounded by countless testimonies from my own life and from the lives of those around me.

God answered my prayers for provision and direction.
God healed a family member from stage four cancer.
God sent out a family to expand their ministry.
God showed favor in my brother’s job and next steps.
God brought peace to a friend’s life.
God is teaching a friend about Sabbath rest.
God provided birthday gifts and school funds for a girl in GFL

God restored people to community.
God moved in an entire family unit, stirring a desire to become more like Jesus.
God is bringing my church into a season of learning to abide in Him (and I am so excited for the testimonies that will come from this season.)

The list could go on and on.

 

God is at work…everywhere, all the time.

I need to hear these kinds of things constantly.

When a testimony is written down and spoken out, it becomes tangible to the one who hears or reads it. Shared testimonies become tools, points of reference, landmarks, monuments, roads to worship…reminders to place our hope in Jesus. 

Just this morning, I had a conversation with a coworker about a struggle I’m facing and what the Lord is teaching me through it. She shared that she’s walking through something similar. By sharing our struggles, we invited one another into a testimony that is still unfolding, active, present, alive.

God is at work in me, right now.
God is at work in my coworker, right now.

What a story we get to live! What a gift that we can look at our struggles and say, “God is good. God is present. God is gracious.”

The work of Jesus is tangible, and we get to partner with His work by giving our testimonies away. It doesn’t need to be in a fancy book (although that is fun to have). All that is needed is a person willing to share the testimonies, past AND present! 

This is why I love GoMission.Church. We get to partner with ministries in giving away the story, the tangible, living breathing work of Jesus!
