Open to God's Leading as a Family | Calling Story with Zoe and Chris Fletcher (Ep. 192)


Listen Later

Zoe and Chris Fletcher share their inspiring story of serving at the International Christian School of Budapest – the impact of their school, Chris's childhood that shaped his perspective on cross-cultural living, a powerful moment that led Zoe to move to Hungary, and how they aim to live open-handedly following the Lord.

  • "This is the right place that God was guiding me to [...] and so this was the place that, in the end, it worked out. Doors were opening, and that's where I ended up." -Chris
  • "Everything leading up to it was so obvious to everyone else, and to me, I was the last person to realize what was happening." -Zoe
  • "I know that this is God, and I know this needs to happen." -Zoe
  • "God has given us so many passports between us, and how can we maximize that for His glory?" -Zoe
  • "Our citizenship is in heaven [...] When we're not tied down to a specific [home], it actually frees us up to say yes to God and to obey Him wherever that is and to just be more tied to heaven than to earthly things." -Zoe
  • "Hungary is where God has us. He'll let us know if it's not." -Zoe
  • "Just because we're here now and just because we don't see that there's any chance that we're moving home in the foreseeable future doesn't mean that we're not going to or that God won't send us somewhere." -Zoe
  • "I felt that call, and I was obedient. I just wanted to be obedient to God." -Chris
  • "God calls us to a radical life. [...] Don't be afraid of living radically for God, whatever that would look like." -Chris
  • "The cost is great, but You are worth it [...] What does the cost look like now? How can I be bold?" -Zoe
  • "It's an immense privilege to be able to teach the kids of missionaries." -Chris
  • "I went into being a teacher because I knew that education happens everywhere in the world, and I was just wanting to go somewhere overseas. I think education reaches places, ministering to so many different nationalities and families." -Chris
