You’ve got a friend. In the sky.

Our foreign correspondent, Alex shares his adventure to pursue His Voice. We follow his story across the globe all the way to London.

How does God speak to you? I was really frustrated because for the longest time I felt that all my brothers in Christ hear Him so much better than me – but I hear nothing. Until recently I learned that He speaks to me exactly how I need can to hear Him.

I recently transferred to London for work – doing the job I’ve been dreaming of since I was young.  Before I left LA, I prayed that I would not leave unless I knew for a fact that God will be with me EVERY single step of the way. No way would I want to move half-way across the globe against His will.

I feel like I’m drinking from a fire hose every week. For example last week was rough in terms of business and personal life – very busy and was feeling like I was taking a huge beating and seeing no hope. On top of that, I had a huge meeting which came out from nowhere on Friday and I had no idea how to handle it: I had to get people on another continent to participate remotely at 2am their time. It was 7pm on Thursday night - I had already done all I could to prepare– there was no way I could be ready by next morning. Feeling completely and totally overwhelmed all I could think of was that I need to just surrender it all to God.  And I did – literally. My prayer was,

“Here it is Lord – take it all. I have no idea what to do. I pray that somehow you will help me be excellent.”
