Welcome to Benevolence, where kindness matters and all are welcomed to the table. 

We are your hosts: Ceci & Neesha 

Benevolence is a ministry where we uplift and encourage through topics of conversation that are important in our Christian walk. We are going to get real. We will focus on topics that we are curious about and what many are afraid to talk about. We are so excited for what's in store for the next ten weeks. The next ten episodes include conversations about Body Goals, hidden gems, the power of a woman, the underworld, friendships, the power of words and so much more.

On this episode of Benevolence we have our very first anonymous testimony. It's an honor for me to have a missionary as a guest on Benevolence. Missionaries are those sent out or go for the primary purpose of evangelizing largely unreached people groups at "the ends of the earth." Many of them are serving in countries where the gospel is banned. My special guest has been to very sensitive countries in which many times revealing their identity could potentially put them or other missionaries that are in those countries in danger. Our special guest shares with us how God called her to missions and also what she experienced out in the mission field.

In light of Thanksgiving week, I felt it would be appropriate to share my thoughts on how to be grateful when things aren’t going your way! There is so much to be grateful for, we just have to take the time and look around us.

I am grateful for many things, but one important thing that I am grateful for is for Benevolence Podcast and all of you who love and support week after week!
