“Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” (Psalm 2:8)

As a native New Yorker, I’ve been surrounded by people from different cultures since I can remember.

As a teen, I became fascinated when the world came together for the Olympics.

If you know my story, you know God called me to follow Him while I was living my dream of going to an Olympics as a reporter and spectator.

Amazingly, God allowed me to go a Summer and Winter Games. What a thrill to be surrounded by people from all over the globe as they came together to watch the best athletes in the world participate in friendly but fierce competition.

Even after God called me to lay down my obsession with elite athletes and my journalism career, I soon realized I still have a heart for the nations.

God called me to follow Him during one amazing week in Sydney Australia.

God called me to be an evangelist a few years later while in Israel.

Even after all these years, I still love when the nations come together to pray and worship Jesus!

What an honor to serve as a Prayer Counselor at a Billy Graham Crusade and Luis Palau Festival!

How wonderful to have gone on 5 short-term missions trips to 5 countries!

What a blessing to be part of multicultural churches where the nations are represented!

God loves the nations. Jesus died for the world. – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16 – 17 NIV)

God’s family is international – “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.” (Revelation 7:9 NIV)

We are one in Christ. – “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28 NIV)

I’m in awe at how God is allowing me to reach the nations to encourage people as they walk by abounding faith, hope and love and dare to live their God-given dreams!

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’” (Matthew 28:18-20 NIV)
