    154. Angels Among Us: Real Stories from the Mission Field
    Tim Ainley is the CEO of Forward Edge. He shares some beautiful miracle moments from the mission field which include an angel testimony. Love his inspiring share that is a reminder that each of us are on a mission field every day where God offers beautiful opportunities to be part of someone's miracle.    Highlights in this episode: 
    • How God led Tim to ministry at Forward Edge
    • Various sites and ways God has led them to serve 
    • God gives a woman (Gloria) a vision that leads to a miracle in Nicaragua 
    • Witnessing a dramatic transformation in the life a young lady at Villa Esperanza 
    • (15:40) A miracle of provision in Cuba when the Pastor is desperate for rice and mysterious man shows up with a cart full of rice 
    • A young man named Taylor feels led to buy a Bible at an airport and is in awe of what came next
    • Tim and I share some everyday miracles God has done in our normal routines at home (we all have a mission field!)
    • A sweet share about a Pennsylvania family who worked extra shifts to sponsor a young lady in Mexico to go to school and attend her college graduation
    • Closing prayer of gratitude and praise to God and blessing over listeners
      " I think we're going to get to the other side and we're going to see all the ways that we didn't know that God used something. It's going to bring us to our knees to see how amazing our Jesus is, what He does, and how He longs to include us in what He's doing. How great it is to get to be part of that!  And that's the greatest thing in life when God lets you be part of something He's doing. I don't think there's anything else that brings more joy and excitement. It's so, so awesome. I think that's what we're designed for. That's why it's so fulfilling, right? Ephesians 2:10 says we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which He prepared in advance for us to do. God can move in big ways when we step out in obedience!" - Tim Ainley, CEO Forward Edge    Matthew 25:40 New Living Translation (NLT) “And the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'"   History of Forward Edge MInistries: For the first 22 years of our history, Forward Edge was primarily a short-term missions agency engaged in a wide range of ministry activities. In 2005, following Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast, we transitioned into a full-fledged relief and development organization with ongoing field programs directed by local leaders in some of the world’s poorest countries. The majority of our short-term missionaries now serve in locations where we have ongoing children’s programs, including Cuba, Haiti, Ghana, Kenya, Kosovo, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Uganda. This unique history has positioned us to not only understand what it takes to engage in effective, cross-cultural development, but also provide meaningful mission opportunities that strategically support ongoing programs in the field and contribute towards lasting change. We invite you to be part of God’s unique work through Forward Edge!

    Brave ten-year-old Jameson was attacked by a 9 foot bull shark while he was snorkeling with his family 9 miles from shore (Key West, August 2022). Odds were stacked against his survival with the damage to his leg and losing nearly all the blood in his body, far from critically needed medical intervention...but God. A ten-year-old's unwavering faith was met with miracle after miracle on the reef! This family's story has blessed people around the world!

     

    In this episode Jameson Jr, and his family (Jameson Sr. and mother Mary) share:

    • 00:00 Intro highlight moment

    • 02:44 The scene on the reef that day Looe Key reef

    • 06:38 Screams in the water and the gruesome discovery of Jameson's injury

    • 11:45 Jameson senior's reaction and the fight for hope so far from shore

    • 17:41 Unexpected miracles through people at just the right moment

    • 20:28 Words the Lord whispered to Jameson senior as he handed off his son

    • 22:25 Singing praise to Jesus in moments of crisis brings joy

    • 23:47 Jameson's supernatural encounter on the speedboat brings peace

    • 56:50 Returning to the reef 10 weeks after attack and conquering fear

     

    "Everyone's got a shark in their story. People often want to make the story about the shark. The truth is, it's not the size of the shark that really matters. It's the strength of your Savior, and that's what our story is. It's not a shark story. It's a little boy who had big faith in an even greater God. Face your fear by faith. The key of faith always unlocks the door of fear. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." - Jameson Reeder Sr.

     

    The Reeder family's testimony is such a powerful reminder that even the most fearsome challenges can be faced and conquered with God. Thank you, Reeder family, for allowing me to share your miracle testimony!

    Psalm 121 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
