A Twelve-Year Old on Mission

Prayer awakens a young heart

The girl pictured is a close friend of Sarah, whose story follows

OneWay’s Prayercast—a ministry fueling world-changing prayer through powerful videos and guided prayer challenges—received a heartfelt message from a 12-year-old girl with a heart for missions.

Sarah's story reminds us why we at OneWay are so passionate about activating the next generation to love and care for the lost. Read her story below to see how last year's Ramadan Prayer Challenge shaped her heart.

"Through praying for the Muslims this past week, the Lord became SO real to me, and I could also really feel the spiritual warfare when I would lie down for bed and pray, asking forgiveness and searching my heart. When I prayed for the Muslims this past week, I realized how many people are out there searching for forgiveness. So, I've been challenged to live my life reflecting the good news that Jesus loves, saves, and sets free. I've also been asking the Lord to give me more opportunities to share this good news, till the WHOLE WORLD hears!

I haven't had the chance to directly tell anybody about Jesus yet, but I do believe God is working and moving now! I've been telling the Lord that I'd be honored to be used as a vessel to complete his perfect plan, that we messed up in the beginning. I can't wait to see how God uses me in the [future]! After all, I am only twelve.

I've wanted to be a missionary since I was seven, and I've been looking at mission websites for short-term mission trips. I've recently started a mission fund; I don't know how God wants me to use it though. My parents said I'll probably be able to go on a short-term mission trip when I'm fifteen, so I've been trying to witness to people here, in the States. I know that they need the Lord just as much as isolated people groups on the other side of the world!"
