Four Days Before Malawi… And I Almost Gave Up.

Four days before leaving for Malawi, the pressure hit.

Last-minute responsibilities. Heavy thoughts. Spiritual warfare that felt personal.

And for the first time, the question surfaced:

“Maybe it’s time to quit.”

In this vulnerable weekly update, Jeanelle shares the real battle behind preparing for missions — the mental resistance, the spiritual opposition, and the scripture that carried her through.

From 2 Thessalonians 3:13 —

“Do not grow weary in doing good.”

To 1 Timothy 1:18 —

“Engage in the battle.”

This isn’t just about a trip.

It’s about learning how to fight when your mind tells you to stop.

If you’ve ever felt opposition right before stepping into something God called you to… this episode is for you.

What do you do when God asks you to pause the “normal” path—and say yes to something unknown?

In this episode, I share the heart behind my decision to move to Malawi for several months and what the Lord has placed on my heart while I’m there. From serving elementary students in a Christ-centered school, to walking closely with young women through worship nights, Bible studies, and honest conversations about faith, integrity, and relationships—this journey isn’t about a short mission trip. It’s about presence.

I talk openly about the weight of going alone, stepping into a new culture and language, and choosing obedience over comfort. This is not about being a savior—it’s about being faithful. Living life alongside the people God has called me to love, listen to, learn from, and walk with.

If you’ve ever felt called to something that doesn’t fit the expected timeline of college, career, or comfort… this episode is for you.

I also share how you can pray, partner, and walk with me as God works in Malawi—because He’s moving there just as powerfully as He is here.

Love you, family. Thank you for being part of this journey.

If you’d like to hear more of my story or understand how this journey is unfolding, I would love to connect with you personally.

In this episode, I share an honest update on the season God has me in right now. After returning from Costa Rica, I believed the Lord was opening the door for a long-term mission in Malawi. I prayed, prepared, and began the process—trusting Him with each step.

While the timeline has not unfolded the way I expected, this season has become one of deep surrender, prayer, and trust. God has been using the waiting to refine my faith, reshape my heart, and teach me what it truly means to depend on Him—whether He sends me or keeps me where I am.

This episode isn’t about asking for anything. It’s about sharing what God is doing in me, how He’s teaching me to release control, and how I’m learning to walk in freedom and obedience one day at a time.

Thank you for praying, supporting, and walking alongside me in this journey.
