When Sarah joined a recent WCN trip to Tennessee, she wasn’t sure what to expect. She was nervous about speaking in front of the group and praying out loud, and she was uncertain about stepping outside her comfort zone.
But after several days of serving people in need and sharing fellowship with other believers, God placed an unexpected opportunity in her path.
Sarah met a man who was going through a family tragedy. He was hurting deeply and didn’t know how to move forward. Though she felt nervous and unsure of what to say, Sarah took a step of faith and asked if there was anything she could pray for in his life.
As he shared his struggles, Sarah stepped outside her comfort zone and prayed with him. God gave her the words she needed in that moment. What began as an uncomfortable conversation became an opportunity to share His love with someone who desperately needed prayer.
That evening, during the team’s debrief, Sarah shared what God had done. By stepping out to pray with this man, she saw her own faith grow.
At World Compassion Network, we see moments like this again and again. When we step out to serve, God works through us to encourage others—and often changes our own hearts along the way.
You don’t have to have all the answers or feel completely comfortable. Sometimes, all it takes is a willing heart and a simple “yes.”
Would you like to experience a WCN trip? We’d love to help you find an opportunity to serve.
