What happens when ordinary people keep saying yes to an extraordinary God? Pastor Jeff Simmons sits down with two Justice and Mercy International national directors: Sarah Rodrigues, from the Amazon, and Gicu Luchian, from Moldova.
Sarah grew up in Rio and planned to become a wealthy doctor who funded missionaries, not one herself. God had other plans, and for 18 years she has served river communities deep in the jungle. Gicu gave his life to Christ at a summer camp at age 12. After 14 years in banking and saying no to God’s call twice, he finally said yes with his whole heart.
Gicu shares how Moldova’s transitional living homes and child sponsorship program help vulnerable kids grow into independent adults with strong faith and healthy families. Sarah describes the overwhelming need across the Amazon and how God answers prayers through jungle pastors, medical care, education, and sponsorship. Together, they share stories of real transformation.
Sarah and Gicu remind us that God is still moving, whether in the jungle or the grocery store aisle. When the Spirit prompts you to pray for someone, serve, or go, don’t brush it off. Take a breath and say yes. You never know where one yes might lead.
