Seeing Past Ourselves–February 2026
One of the most difficult things about living missionally is the discipline to not fixate too much on one’s own life. Each day, we all have things that we are thinking about that can consume our thoughts if we let them. We can easily end up so absorbed in our own world so much that…
Keep readingPraying and Sowing–January 2026
God has been taking me to different places in our region to pray and talk to people. One thing I have noticed is that often where I just pray one week may be where I witness the next week! This was the case in January of 2026. God sent me to a town north of…
Keep readingThe Kingdom Comes Outside the Library-December 2025.
I was heading to the library one morning as I needed to print some things out. I noticed an older man sitting on a bench outside the library and struck up a conversation with him. He was friendly and easy to talk to. We talked about the weather and how we both preferred snow to…
Keep readingThe Many “Scenes” of Ministry–October, November, December 2025.
Not long after moving to Montana, I went out one day to a local coffee shop. I was reading a book that morning and trying to be in tune to notice anyone the Lord wanted to highlight to me. Eventually, I noticed a young man sitting by the window on his computer and felt the…
Keep readingIt was Blurry But Now I See-August, 2025.
Paige and I went out for some intentional time of outreach one August morning. I asked Paige where He felt like we should go and He said, “Lake Tye.” I had one other place in my mind but as I asked the Lord I felt like Lake Tye came first. So off we went. After…
Keep readingEncounter at the Bucket Swing–July, 2025
I was with our 2 year old daughter Olivia at a park in our region. As I was pushing her on the bucket swing, I was meditating on God’s love for us and felt His presence powerfully. Then I noticed a park worker come and begin to rake the wood chips. I said, “Hi” and…
Keep readingDisagreeing With Love–July, 2025
Paige and I were out doing some evangelism in a local park. Prior to going out in prayer, I had a vision of someone with someone with a “red bandana” who had experienced “desertion.” After talking with a few others in the park, Paige pointed out someone wearing a red hat. Not exactly a…
Keep readingKnee Pain Gone!–June, 2025
My friend Paige and I went out to do some intentional evangelism one morning. Along the way, we met a gentleman “S” and began talking with him. I had a sense from the Lord of pain in the left leg and asked “S” if this was true. He acknowledged that he did have pain in…
Keep readingThe Power of Listening Ears–May 2025
I was with my friend and fellow evangelist Cory one Thursday afternoon in the North Seattle area. The Lord had put on my heart to revisit a park that Cory and I used to frequent to do evangelism. We went there, had lunch, and began walking around looking for people we could engage in conversation.…

Keep readingAdoption and Reconciliation–April 2025
My friend Logan and I went to downtown Seattle for some intentional time of outreach on a mid-April Thursday. After lunch, I felt the Lord guiding us to go down near Pudget sound where the ferry boats come in. There is a beautiful spot there where people come and sit on the rocks and reflect…
Keep readingSurprise at the Swimming Pool–March 2025
I like to go swimming once a week these days as I find it relaxing and healthy at the same time. But one added benefit to swimming is that no one has in ear buds (which is not true when you go to the gym). Those without ear buds are easier to talk to than…
Keep readingThe Gift of the Gospel-And Shoe Strings–February 2025
My friend Paige and I headed to downtown Seattle for a one day mission trip. After a stop at the Adoration House of Prayer for some time to fill up in God’s presence, we were on the Seattle link bound for International District. I shared with Paige the testimony of Lu’s healing from the previous…
Keep readingA Masked Woman Gets Healed! -February 2025
I was down in Seattle on a mid-February day. I had felt a bit spiritually heavy when I left home that day, and stopped by the Adoration House of Prayer in the U-district for some time to pray, worship, read Scripture, and get in sync with the Lord. I left feeling a lot of joy…

Encountered While Feeding the Ducks—April 2023 I (Candy) felt like the Lord told me to go to the area of Lake Tye in Monroe, WA where you can feed the ducks and I would find someone there with a small child that was helping them with their coat or their shoes. I didn’t know much…

Let’s Go Be the Church–March 2020 One Saturday afternoon in late summer of 2019, I was walking along the road near my home headed for a short stint at the Korean spa. I love to relax at the spa and can’t say I was all that focused on my environment around me. Yet when I…

Love is Patient—June 2019 It was early June and I was in the midst of a challenging semester at language school. A visit to the spa one afternoon was certainly not for the purpose of evangelism in my mind, but God seemed to have other ideas. I’ve learned, you never know where He may want…

Stepping out is Contagious!–July 2018 I was hanging out in Ferris Coffee in Holland (formerly Jp’s) working on preparing Dunamis material for some upcoming teaching in North Carolina.

Mission to Mission–July 2011 As I looked back through my testimony archives, I realized I didn’t have a testimony for 2011. Yet I recall some very powerful things I was a part of in 2011 that I forgot to write about! I’ll do my best here to share what I remember. I was a youth…
