Really?! Mobilizer as a career calling! feat. Ryan Shaw (GMMI)
Manage episode 305578953 series 2962816
What would you do, if your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents are all missionaries? Would you follow their legacy and become a missionary, or do you go after a totally different path? In this episode, Ryan Shaw from Global Mission Mobilization Initiative (GMMI), as the 4th generation in a missionary family, shares his journey becoming a mission mobilizer, as well as his passion of helping local churches bring the Great Commission back to the center.
Ryan grew up in a family with generations of missionaries, but Ryan didn’t just assume himself as a missionary when he was a young, dedicated Jesus follower. It was through asking and searching and listening to the words from the Lord, and finally obeying what the Lord had revealed to him, Ryan confirmed his calling as a mission mobilizer at age 22. Throughout these years, God has prepared many mentors to guide Ryan and opened his eyes to see the need in mission mobilization, and he followed God’s direction closely, no matter it’s the region he lives or the focus of his ministry. There is so much energy and excitement when Ryan talks about how he encounters God and His words in the Bible, which fully exhibits his love for God. It also touches my heart to hear Ryan’s burning desire to pursue what pleases the Lord, and I hope this would motivate more of us to long for a closer relationship with God.
