  • Amazima Ministries
  • "Meeting people's needs is good and is right and is what Jesus calls us to do, to make sure that our neighbors do have access [...] but also, we don't want to give people those things without giving them the hope and the truth of the gospel."
  • "Jesus says to have faith like a child, and I think as children, we are bolder and we are less afraid, and we are more trusting. I really did just see a need in front of me and think, 'I could do something about that.'"
  • "I can step confidently into those things, even without knowing specifics, because Jesus has already given me the instruction to do so."
  • "There are people who need the gospel, who need the love of Jesus, right outside all of our front doors, and as we kind of slowly step into meeting other people's needs and sharing the love of Jesus with others, I really believe that God is going to refine that and narrow that. As we just keep taking steps, He writes these stories that we never could have come up with on our own."
  • "He was growing my dependence on Him and my relationship with Him as I kept stepping into these impossible things and seeing Him be faithful."
  • "We're not going to end poverty, but we obey Jesus by stepping into the things that He puts in front of us, and in the process, we are made more into His image."
  • "For anyone who's just feeling so paralyzed [...] It really is just a drop in the bucket… and that can't keep us from kindness and obedience to Jesus."
  • "Living authentically and living your life for Jesus in front of other people causes such a ripple effect."
  • "[Education] is such a great way to disciple a child and share the gospel."
  • "I need to be dependent on God to achieve anything at all."
  • "To step into what God puts in front of you, just one day at a time and one moment at a time really can lead to such a beautiful life."
  • "I want what You want for me, God."
