We are delighted to have Ivy in the studio with Ray today. Having involved in several missions with Operation Mobilization (OM) including traveling with the OM ship (LogosHope) and a South African mission discipleship training, Ivy has found her heart in Africa. Petite yet with a bold voice, Ivy shares confidently of her experiences being in the field in Zambia, and how her college study in journalism has supported her work in missions. To “think of your audience” is a great tip from Ivy when creating social media content. Ivy saw the potential and vibrancy of people in Africa above all cultural and communication barriers and continues to serve her 4th year in Zambia.
Ivy’s story brought to mind an encouragement from a God-fearing elderly person I met. This person told me that “you will NEVER regret walking in the perfect will of God”. The roles that God puts us in may be very different, but when you start living that life of obedience it rewards and fuels us with joy.
About our special guest
Ivy Chiu, a young Taiwanese lady who has been involved with global missions since graduated from University. Majored in Journalism, she has been maximizing her expertise during her time serving overseas, using social media as a means to mobilize more people to explore God's work around the world.
On her own blog, she introduced herself - "previously a city girl rushing into the Taipei metro everyday, now enjoys walking around beautiful villages at Lake Tanganyika, Zambia. She likes to listen to people's stories and write newsletters (really a rare species). Her dream is to become the shortest giant in the world." Let's keep it that way.
