Show notes

Today we are joined by Holly Matos, a missionary who along with her husband, Manolo, serves in Lima, Peru, where Manolo pastors Calvary Chapel Lima. Holly’s story of serving the Lord from her youth is a beautiful example of saying “Yes” to Jesus and being open and available to everything He puts in front of us. Her passion and enthusiasm for God and His Word is contagious, and we know you will love Holly as much as we do!

Marie Monsen, Part 2 Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Marie Monsen (1878-1962): We are back for the second part of Norwegian missionary Marie Monsen’s incredible story of miracles and revival in early 20th century China! The Lord used this quiet, humble woman to revive the Chinese church and lead many to Christ, simply because she “knew her own littleness” and the greatness of Jesus! It is therefore not surprising that the Shantung Revival that she helped usher in bore solid and lasting fruit for the kingdom of God. You will be so blessed by the testimony and legacy of this lovely, radiant servant of the Lord!

Show notes

Maude Cary (1878-1967): In this episode, Jasmine is joined by her mother, Debbie Alnutt, to bring you the story of a remarkable missionary who has really blessed both of their lives personally. Maude Cary was a brilliant linguist and gifted Bible teacher who served tirelessly among the people of Morocco. Although her poor health prevented her from the pioneer ministry she longed to engage in alongside the man she loved, her heart of sacrifice and surrender bore incredible fruit and stands as a shining testament to the worthiness of Christ and the importance of investing in eternity.

Lady Selina Hastings, Part 2 Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Lady Selina Hastings (1707-1791): We finish today with the powerful testimony of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, a woman who was instrumental in furthering the Gospel through the Methodist movement in the 18th century. In fact, it is safe to say that Selina was the glue that held the movement together and enabled it to propagate throughout Britain and beyond! Her love for Jesus and surrender to His will for her life is at once convicting and inspiring! We close our episode with a testimony from one of our listeners in Australia, C.J. Manan, who shared with us about the life and ministry of her sister, Gail. It’s a lovely story of God’s faithfulness and we know you will be blessed to hear it!

Lady Selina Hastings, Part 1 Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

Lady Selina Hastings (1707-1791): The great 18th century Methodist Revival brought vast numbers to Christ and produced many remarkable, godly leaders. One of the most significant of these was Lady Selina Hastings, the Countess of Huntingdon and the “Patroness of Methodism.” A member of the English aristocracy and descendant of royalty, Selina was also a devout member of the Anglican Church. However, when she recognized her need for a relationship with Jesus beyond mere religious formality, her life was transformed! She found like-minded fellowship in the fledgling Methodist movement with the Wesley brothers and George Whitefield, and teamed up with them to bring the Gospel throughout the British Isles, American Colonies and beyond. Because of her wide social and political influence, financial support, and unique ability to foster Christian unity, Selina made an incalculable impact on her nation and the world for the cause of Christ!

Susanna Wesley Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Susanna Wesley (1669-1742): Few people make a name for themselves because of their parenting, yet today we will be talking about a woman who is best known as the “Mother of Methodism:” Susanna Wesley, the mother of the great 18th century evangelists, John and Charles Wesley. A brilliant and godly woman, this mother of sixteen left a powerful legacy through her child-rearing, educational methods, and (most importantly) her deep spirituality. It is easy to recognize that her influence on the lives of her sons, John and Charles, laid the groundwork for the great Methodist Revival that rocked Great Britain and the American Colonies. Susanna Wesley is certainly a testament to the profound influence of motherhood!
