The Call to Reconciliation:
A Journey to Africa

In October 2021, THE LORD began speaking to me through a dream that would ultimately change the course of my life.

In the dream, I found myself standing in a courtroom as an attorney. Before me was a specific case that I was presenting before the Judge. The case involved an African boy and his father who had been separated for a long time. I stood as an advocate, pleading for the restoration of the son back to his father. My assignment in the dream was clear: reconciliation.
As I awoke, I knew the dream was symbolic. It was not merely about a natural family, but about a nation and a people. I understood that when I was pleading my case to the Honorable Judge, I begged him, hasn’t this separation been long enough? I think they are suffering being apart. I woke up and I knew the Judge, the son and Father represented those who had become separated from Him.
Disobedience, rebellion, brokenness, and deception have always been tools of the enemy to separate people from the heart of the Father. Yet God's desire has never changed. His heart is always restoration.
THE LORD immediately brought me to the Book of Malachi:
"He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents..." (Malachi 4:6 NIV).
The message was clear. GOD was calling sons and daughters back to Himself.
At the time, I could not fully understand the magnitude of what GOD was revealing. I simply knew I had been given a glimpse into His heart and that somehow I was being invited to participate in His plan.
One year later, the pieces began to unfold.
What started as a dream became a divine assignment.
THE LORD began opening doors and orchestrating circumstances that would eventually lead me to Africa—a continent I had never imagined would become such a significant part of my life and calling.
The nation GOD directed me toward is one of the most devastated countries in the world. It is a land marked by corruption, violence, poverty, and a growing influence of Islam. Yet despite these realities, I saw something different through the eyes of the Spirit.
I saw a people deeply loved by GOD.
I saw sons and daughters whom the Father was calling home.
I saw restoration.
I saw hope.
Like many prophetic callings throughout Scripture, the vision came long before the fulfillment. Between the promise and the assignment was a season of preparation.
Five years later, I can look back and see the hand of GOD in every step.
The journey was not easy.
There were seasons of stripping, pruning, and refining. There were moments that appeared to be failure. There was betrayal, Doors closed. Plans changed. Dreams were tested. Everything that could be shaken seemed to be shaken.
Yet GOD was never absent.
What felt like loss was actually preparation.
What felt like failure was refinement.
What felt like delay was divine positioning.
THE LORD was teaching me that apostolic ministry is not built upon comfort, personal ambition, or human success. It is forged through surrender, obedience, sacrifice, and complete dependence upon Him.
The prophetic call reveals what GOD desires to do.
The apostolic call requires the faith to leave what is familiar and walk into the unknown.
Both require trust.
As GOD continued to refine my heart, He stripped away distractions, fears, and self-reliance. Through the process, He gave me greater clarity, deeper vision, and a stronger conviction than ever before.
The sacrifices were real.
Leaving behind family, comfort, familiarity, and many things I once held dear brought pain that cannot easily be described 😭😭. Yet through that pain, GOD revealed a strength that I never knew existed within me.
The cost of obedience is often great, but the reward of walking in GOD’S will is greater.
Today I stand with renewed vision and purpose, answering the call that began years ago in a courtroom dream.
The assignment remains the same.
To stand as an advocate for reconciliation.
To call sons and daughters back to the Father.
To proclaim truth in a generation filled with confusion.
To walk by faith where GOD leads.
To serve His purposes in Africa and wherever He sends me.
This journey was never about me.
It has always been about the Father's heart.
A heart that still pursues the lost.
A heart that still restores families.
A heart that still calls nations unto Himself.
And by His grace, I will continue to answer that call.

A lady once told me that she was contending for her marriage because God hates divorce. She refused to divorce her husband and spent much time praying and fasting for the restoration of her marriage. Yet, despite her efforts, she eventually received divorce papers, and the marriage came to an end.

This reveals an important truth: not everything is simply a matter of prayer. Marriage requires two people who are willing to pray, communicate, forgive, and work together to preserve the covenant. I am fully for restoration and reconciliation, but restoration requires the participation of both husband and wife.

When you pray for your marriage, God can convict your spouse, speak to their heart, and create opportunities for repentance. However, God does not override a person’s free will. He will never force your spouse to choose you, remain faithful, or stay committed to the marriage. This is why many men and women have prayed, fasted, and believed God for restoration, yet still received divorce papers.

The Bible recognizes this reality. 1 Corinthians 7:15 (NKJV) says, “But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bo***ge in such cases. But God has called us to peace.” While we should fight for our marriages, there are situations where one spouse has already made up their mind to leave.

Free will exists. You should absolutely pray and fast for your marriage, stand for your covenant, and believe God for healing. But if your spouse has completely chosen to reject that covenant and refuses to participate in rebuilding the relationship, prayer alone cannot force them to stay.

We also cannot blame everything on demons. While spiritual warfare is real, many marital problems are the result of choices people make. Demons may influence, tempt, or exploit weaknesses, but people give place to the enemy when they continually choose to defy the ways of God. As Scripture says in Galatians 6:7 (NKJV), “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Ultimately, people are responsible for the decisions they make, and those decisions often determine the outcome of a marriage.

The New Testament consistently emphasizes generosity, bearing one another's burdens, caring for widows and the poor, supporting those who labor in ministry, and meeting practical needs. For example:
Acts 2:44–45 describes believers sharing resources so that needs were met.
Galatians 6:2 calls believers to "bear one another's burdens."
James 1:27 highlights caring for widows and orphans.
1 John 3:17 challenges believers to help a brother or sister in need.
Philippians 4 shows support being sent to ministry workers.

Many churches celebrate missions publicly but allocate relatively little toward supporting missionaries or humanitarian work compared to facilities and programs. That can create a disconnect between what is preached and what is funded.

At the same time, some churches genuinely do both—maintaining facilities while also operating food ministries, benevolence funds, orphan care, widow support, and missionary partnerships. Those churches often demonstrate that the issue is not resources themselves but stewardship and priorities.

But what I want to ask you is—If Jesus physically walked into our church budget meeting, would HE recognize His priorities in how we spend His money?

I think it’s fair to say what many believers are longing for: not a church with fewer lights, but a church with greater compassion; not less excellence, but more sacrifice; not less ministry, but more ministry that reaches the people JESUS repeatedly noticed—the overlooked, the burdened, and the vulnerable. ✝️❤️

I don’t think JESUS died so churches could fund extravagant stage lights and sound systems while single moms, the elderly, and others choose between rent and groceries.

💔 And before someone says, “We can do both…”

Can we?

Because all across the country there are broken people sitting in church every Sunday carrying burdens that would crush most people.

Some are working two jobs. Skipping meals.
Living paycheck to paycheck.
Praying the car starts.
Praying the rent gets paid.
Praying they don’t get sick because there’s no money left to get them medical care.

Meanwhile churches are spending millions creating an experience. They want to build million dollar playgrounds, have bigger stages.Better lighting. Louder sound systems.
More production.
More branding.
More spectacle.

And honestly?

Some churches have become so focused on attracting crowds that they’ve forgotten how to care for the people already sitting in the pews.

💥 The irony is that Scripture never commands the church to entertain people.

It repeatedly commands the church to care for the vulnerable.

Isaiah 1:17 says:
“Learn to do good; seek justice. Correct oppression. Bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”

In biblical times, widows represented some of the most vulnerable people in society—those carrying impossible burdens without support.

Today, many single mothers are carrying that same weight.

Christians are fighting battles and they have no help.

Yet too often they’re told:
“We’ll pray for you.”

Then left to figure it out alone.

💔 And maybe that’s the part that bothers me most.

Not that churches have lights.

Not that churches have sound systems.

But that some churches seem more passionate about funding the platform than helping the people JESUS spent His time protecting.

Because I cannot reconcile the JESUS who fed the hungry, cared for the vulnerable, defended the overlooked, and lifted burdens…

with a church culture that spends extravagantly on production while struggling families quietly drown in plain sight.

Or Missionaries that are sent out and they don’t want to support them but they spend millions on playgrounds, coffee shops, stages etc.

DEPRESSION TIPS:

Shower. Not a bath, a shower.
Use water as hot or cold as you like. You don’t even need to wash. Just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. Sit on the floor if you need to.

Moisturize everything.
Use whatever lotion you like.
Unscented? Dollar store lotion? Fancy 48 hour lotion that makes you smell like a field of wildflowers? Use whatever you want, and use it all over your entire skin.

Put on clean, comfortable clothes.
Put on your favorite underwear.
Those ridiculous boxers you bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? Put them on.

Drink cold water.
Use ice. If you want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

Clean something.
Doesn’t have to be anything big. Organize one drawer of a desk. Wash five dirty dishes. Do a load of laundry. Scrub the bathroom sink.

Blast music.
Listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. Sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

Make food.
Don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. Take the time and make food. Even if it’s ramen. Add something special to it, like a soft boiled egg or some veggies. Prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.

Make something.
Write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. Even if you don’t think you’re good at it. Create.

Go outside.
Take a walk. Sit in the grass. Look at the clouds. Smell flowers. Put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

Call someone.
Call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. Talk to a stranger on the street. Have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. If you can’t bring yourself to call, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. Even if you don’t say much, listen to them. It helps.

Cuddle your pets if you have them. Take pictures of them. Talk to them. Tell them how you feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out, anything.

May seem small or silly to some, but this list keeps people alive.

*** At your absolute best you won’t be good enough for the wrong people. But at your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right ones. Remember that. Keep holding on.

*** In case nobody has told you today I love you and you are worth your weight and then some in gold, so be kind to yourself and most of all keep pushing on!!!!

Find something to be grateful for!

May I please get 2 friends or family members to copy and re-post? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening.








Just two. Any two. Say done ✅

The heart of ministry is love—love for God and love for people. It begins with seeing others as God sees them: valuable, complex, worthy of patience and hope. Ministry is less about platforms than presence, less about outcomes than faithfulness. It looks like listening before speaking, serving before leading, and praying before planning. It is the quiet work of carrying burdens, telling the truth with gentleness, and showing up again when it would be easier not to.
Such a calling requires commitment that is both tender and tough. It asks for consistency when enthusiasm fades, humility when praise comes, and courage when criticism lands. It means guarding your inner life—anchored in Scripture, prayer, and honest community—so what you give flows from overflow, not exhaustion. It involves sacrifice of time, comfort, and sometimes recognition, trusting that unseen seeds will bear fruit in due season. In all of it, the measure of success is not applause but faithfulness: staying close to God, steadfast with people, and true to the mission, one devoted step at a time.
