  • Jennifer James: From Abuse, Drugs and Death to God's Miraculous Grace
    Jun 23 2024

    Send me a text and let me know your thoughts!

    "I didn't really understand what it meant to walk with God because i didn't have that example for me at home."

    Have you been abandoned? Lived a life of abuse? Drugs? Depression? Promiscuity?

    You’re not alone.

    Did you know that people of the Bible lived these experiences as well?

    Joseph was abandoned.
    Tamar was raped.
    David was depressed.
    Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.

    Jennifer James had a father who was addicted to cocaine. Her parents divorced when she was eight, leaving her with a father-hole in her heart.

    Trying to fill that hole, she sought after what she thought was the love of men.

    The only role model she had was her mother who had a revolving door of men.

    Abuse? Promiscuity, Drugs. Depression.

    This was Jennifer’s life….But God

    Hers is a powerful testimony to the amazing redemption and miracles of God.

    Today’s guests are Shawn and Nancy Paul who have been missionaries in Honduras and are presently serving in Guatemala.

    Nancy has been serving in children's ministry for over 30 years. She has a huge passion for helping develop others with the same heart for children as she does. Today, she has trained countless children’s teachers in Central America.

    She writes and produces her own children’s curriculum. We're even more excited that this material is now being shared with approximately 43 missionaries and ministers in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Belize!

    For those in the mountainous and rural areas, they still, to this day, depend on the local radio station. Shawn has seen remarkable success in reaching those on the radio. Currently, they are ministering on the radio in Honduras, Guatemala, and Belize. Our vision is to expand to other areas of Central America. They estimate that they are reaching around 5 to 10 thousand people through this ministry.

    In our conversation today we talk about

    · What mission life is like for Shawn and Nancy

    · The vision God has given Shawn for ministering online to pastors in all nations

    · Nancy’s children’s ministry

    · Missionary care

    · There are many ways to be a missionary

    So let’s dive in….
