When Sarah’s husband left her four years ago, she knew she had to find a way to support herself. But she didn’t know where to look for a job.

She prayed for direction, and God impressed her to share His Word with the people living around her.

Sarah began visiting her neighbors in their homes.

“I prayed for the sick, and they got well. I prayed for those who had evil spirits, and the spirits went away. I prayed for those who couldn’t have children, and they were able to start a family.”

Some people were happy when Sarah visited them, but others didn’t like it. One day Sarah visited a family who was worshipping an idol. They demanded that she worship with them, but she refused. One young woman angrily plunged Sarah’s hand into a pot of boiling oil.

“I prayed and when I removed my hand from the oil, it wasn’t burned at all.”

The next day, the young woman’s father called Sarah to apologize. He asked her to pray for his family. Sarah was happy to uplift this family in prayer.

“Now they are changed. They have accepted God, and they worship with us .”

Five families witnessed Sarah escape serious injury that day. They were amazed, and they too have asked her to pray for them.

When the local Adventist pastor learned about Sarah’s miraculous experience, he told her, “You need to work for God.” He offered her a position as a Global Mission pioneer, and Sarah eagerly accepted it.

Four years later, she still visits families in her community. She prays with them and shares literature about Jesus. On Sabbaths, she invites a group of women to worship in her home. Every Wednesday, she hosts a Bible study.

There are many widows and orphans in her city, and Sarah does all she can to meet their spiritual and physical needs. She often buys the women saris or food for their families.

“As a pioneer it’s not only about prayer or just going to their houses. If I have extra clothes, I want to clothe them. If they need food, I will feed them. It’s my duty.”

Sarah is no longer sad that her husband abandoned her.

“After he left, God has given me more strength so that I can preach the gospel and tell people that He is coming soon. He is taking care of me.”

Sarah asks you to pray for the people of her city.

“I want them to be ready for the second coming. I also want to appeal to everyone to be an example to others and serve them wholeheartedly.”

Sarah has found her greatest joy in being a Global Mission pioneer.

“I’m happy, and I’m willing to serve God as long as I’m alive.”

Please pray for Sarah and all our Global Mission pioneers around the world who are sharing the good news of Jesus’s love and soon return.
