A Tribute to My Grandma

What began as what felt like a tragedy became one of the most beautiful revelations of God’s faithfulness. Death is not the end—it’s only the beginning.

Just three days after my grandmother stepped into heaven, I found myself in Kenya, sharing her story with a group of over 100 widows. In that moment of pain and hope intertwined, more than 50 of them gave their lives to Jesus and received Him as Lord and Savior.

To me, this is one of the greatest revelations God has ever given me—that even in loss, He brings life. My prayer is that this testimony reshapes how you see death—not as a final goodbye, but as the beginning of eternal life with our Father in Heaven.

Thank you @globalfootprintsministries for giving me the opportunity to share this!

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the truth that your pain has a purpose. Trials and tribulations aren’t evidence that God has abandoned you — they’re often the very tools He uses to shape you into His masterpiece.

If you’ve ever felt like life has hit you hard, this episode will remind you: you’re not a victim of your circumstances, you’re a vessel in the hands of a faithful God.

In this powerful episode, we dive into 1 Kings 17–19 and explore the story of Elijah, the prophet who boldly prayed for a drought—and later, for rain. But what does that mean for your life?

Join us as we unpack what it looks like to pray for a spiritual drought—not to harm, but to break cycles, shut doors that don’t serve your purpose, and position yourself for breakthrough. Sometimes, God uses drought to dry up distractions so that heaven can open up in a fresh way.

Whether you’re in a dry place or on the verge of rain, this conversation will stir your faith and give you insight into God’s strategy for your season.
