Portugal 2019

When I was seventeen, I promised Jesus I would give my heart ️ to the mission field for Him.

I owe it all to Him, Jesus. Almost 20 years later, I’m still called to the mission field in my hometown or in another country.

As I left the country of Portugal my heart wanted to take Portugal back home to Texas.


Portugal is a beautiful country. The people of Portugal are beautiful.


The language of Portuguese is beautiful to speak.

The food was delicious. The coffee was excellent and inexpensive. I could have coffee at breakfast, lunch & dinner in one day. 

The evangelical churches are few. It is a beautiful country, but lack of churches within Baptist community churches. My heart ️ cries for all churches in Portugal.

As we visited each church  in Northern Portugal and prayed with their pastors I wanted to bring them and their church families home to Texas.

Portugal is a beautiful country with beautiful landscape filled with beautiful flowers everywhere. I could take taken thousands of pictures of all the flowers & trees.

Mark 16:15 (NIV) 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

Below are a few pictures of Portugal below:

Portugal

The Call- Last November is when I received an application to go on a mission trip for Porto, Portugal & Spain for July 15th 2019 for about a week. I said to myself, I don’t know & prayed about this mission trip. 

Faith- Well, things started to work out to go on this mission trip including, working 2nd part time job. Everything seems work together like a puzzle piece for this trip. I felt like Jesus gave me thumbs up for this mission trip. 

Trust Jesus if you are working through a job, your family's life, mission trip, or a life situation.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11 ESV

The Mission- We will be singing to promote local churches around for Northern Portugal & Spain during our mission trip.

Pray- Please continue pray for me & all folks I am traveling. Please pray for us as we minister to the local Portugal people.

Ready to Fly into Mission Field

Mission Field

I love it when I look up plane tickets online to see what type of flights I can get even if I have to wake up 6am to fly out for a cheap discount. Well, going to the mission field is sort of like that when you have caught the vision to some unknown land that speaks a different language or trying to learn something about the culture. I remembered one time while I was in Israel and had shopped in one of the stores. A woman comes up to me and comes into my space. This is considered culture manners in this country. Have you been in culture shock? I have in a few situations and trying to eat the foods.

It has been a while since I have been on the mission field and I am dying to go somewhere but my schedule has stopped me from going. I take little trips here and there to visit family or sight see but it is nothing like being on the mission field. Serving is the key to be on the mission field and it is not always about yourself. One spring break, I decide to go to México to serve with a couple who live near the border towns. Bob and Donna where the names but it seemed the couple never rested because there were always ministries or helping the community people. Bob and Donna never complained when I had visited them but they seemed that they were content. Will you be content if you were on the mission field? One day I will be called to the mission field for now my mission is here in Dallas- Worth Area. I am ready to serve.

Be Blessed.
