Help Madesyn Sloan raise money for SOUTHEAST ASIA

When I was 14 years old I got my call to ministry. I can recall the exact moment that Jesus tugged on my heart whispering the words “Go my child”. I was worshiping at Anderson University during an intense spiritual summer camp, led by Clayton King. I was told to be a disciple and share his love among nations. If you know me, then you know I have dreamed of working in law enforcement my entire life. I have dressed up as a cop or FBI agent for just about every halloween. I am very interested in crime books, movies, tv shows, podcasts etc. For as long as I could remember, law enforcement is what I wanted to be. And nothing was going to change my mind. Deep in my heart I knew that I was called to be a missionary. But I kept asking myself, “how can I fit ministry into law enforcement?”. Or “how can I alter my calling?” and even “how can I shift God's will for me?” As wonderful as being a missionary sounded, my flesh still clung to law enforcement. So now I'm 18 years old and my teachers and counselors are telling me to come up with a “plan”. WHAT? Are you telling me that I have 1 semester left to decide what I want to do for the rest of my life? I lost countless nights of sleep asking myself the question everyone else wanted to know. I was begging God to help me. Begging God to tell me what to do. He was being “silent”. So I took matters into my own hands. I applied to lots of different colleges but ended up narrowing it down to Charleston Southern University. CSU has the number 1 criminal justice program in the state. Oh and did I mention that it's a christian university? Best of both worlds if you ask me. I was super stoked ! Beyond excited…But for some reason I didn't have peace. Something was telling me to wait. Someone was telling me to wait (Jesus). I realized that Jesus wasn't being silent. I just wasn't letting him speak. What can I do Jesus, to hear you? How can I hear your voice jesus. I screamed out to Jesus because I was afraid of not knowing. The pressure of my friends and mentors and teachers was becoming unreal. I didnt wanna decide anymore. I wanted to take my hands off of the wheel and finally allow my Jesus to tell me what to do. A couple days later, a spiritual leader sent me a sermon from youtube titled “hearing God's voice”. WOW. Just what I needed. I knew that the only way I was going to be able to pursue my calling was if I heard Jesus tell me exactly what he wanted of me. Or else I was going with my flesh. I then watched the sermon…Pastor Robert Morris taught me the “3 P’s”. pray, praise, and proclaim. When I listened to this sermon I was 2 days into my 21 days of prayer and fasting. I feel as though Jesus set this up perfectly for me. So that I would take the next 19 days to practice the “ 3 P’s”. I was obedient to the lord. It was hard. I struggled. I cried. I laughed. I screamed. But one thing remained. Jesus. My fast is now over. But my obedience to the lord has just begun. At the end of my fast, I was introduced to YWAM (youth with a mission). The clarity I got from Jesus was perfect. There are no other words to explain it. The voice of God is truly amazing. And when you hear it , there is NO DOUBT in your mind that it came from above. I am so proud to announce that I will be moving to Hawaii in October to pursue a discipleship training school. From there I will be sent into the nations and will spend 6 months away from home. I will be sharing the love of Jesus in places that may be too dangerous to announce. I will be sent with a team to serve my Jesus. Ever since Jesus revealed this to me, I have been looked in the eyes and called an “idiot”. But I am called. I have had people question my ability. But I am called. I have been asked “so you're just NOT gonna go to college and get a degree?” No, because Jesus has given me a calling better than any degree. I've heard “this is silly.” I've even had some of my own friends doubt my capability to do this because , AND I QUOTE, Im “too tiny” … Maybe you're thinking of some of these things as well. Maybe you don’t believe that I am able either. But my God is more than able. And I do not fear, for this is God's will.. I want to give a huge thank you to my friends, family, and mentors, for pushing me and encouraging me to follow my calling. I am asking for your prayers as I begin this next chapter of my life . I know that the lord is going to do amazing things ❤️
