This week we get a different perspective on missions by talking to a mom of a missionary, Mrs. Starr Tharp. Her son and his family are missionaries in Ireland. Mrs. Tharp walks us through the side of the story you don’t normally hear: the mom who sends her child to do God's will and supports him from afar. I hope this interview is a blessing and a challenge to you! “Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭1‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

On today’s episode of the Wherever I Am Podcast, Mrs. Loretta Walker spends her time sharing some wisdom with us. As the wife of a full-time evangelist and the editor-in-chief of Christian Womanhood magazine, she shares what she does when she is overwhelmed by her schedule and circumstances, as well as what she does to make soul winning a priority. Miss Loretta is my dear friend and someone who I go to for counsel. I am so excited to share this conversation with you! “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭28‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This week, we are blessed to hear from Mrs. Kelly DeMoville, a missionary’s wife to the Philippines and the First Lady of International Baptist Church in Dumaguete. She shares her testimony and stories of God’s faithfulness throughout the years. "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ This interview personally encouraged me to remain consistent in my walk with the Lord and to be more intentional in praying for my husband. It is my prayer that her testimony will be an encouragement to you as well!

This week, we are joined by Mrs. Charlene Viray to follow up some thoughts from last week’s episode. We talk about both the importance and the difficulties of soulwinning with small children. Charlene and I also talk about the significance of keeping our minds clean by guarding what we put in our mind and our children’s.

This week, we are blessed to hear from Jennifer Beil, host of the Help Me Abide podcast. Jennifer shares with us the blessings that come from serving God on the mission field, as well as the challenges that can come when God moves us to a new place of service. This conversation is raw, honest, and real, just like Jenn. Scripture song by Pastor Clint Miller https://music.apple.com/us/album/wings-of-the-morning/6780712183?i=6780712196

This week on the Wherever I Am Podcast, we are blessed to hear from Alejandra Villafranca, a missionary’s wife serving in Alaska. While Alaska is part of the United States, Alejandra shares how it is a unique mission field with people who need to hear the Gospel. She shares a side of missionary life in Alaska that we do not often get to hear about. Alejandra also opens up about walking through the difficult season of facing her child’s health struggles and shares how God has worked in her heart through those trying times. It is my prayer that her testimony of faith and perseverance will encourage you to keep trusting the Lord, even during the difficult seasons of life. “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” 2 Corinthians 4:17 Scripture song by Pastor Clint Miller https://music.apple.com/us/album/wings-of-the-morning/6780712183?i=6780712196

Welcome to the very first episode of the Wherever I Am Podcast! In this episode, we hear from a missionary serving in an undisclosed country. For her protection, her name and location will remain private. If you know who she is, please help us protect her by keeping her name confidential. Her story is a beautiful reminder that wherever God calls us, He is faithful, and He is always at work. “He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.” — Psalm 115:3
