In this episode of After Yes, Chrystal Hobart of Son Chaser Ministries reveals her inspiring journey of sharing the gospel through mime in Niger. Her story began with a childhood passion for using dramatic arts as a means to convey the gospel, a calling that persisted into adulthood. As she shared her experience leading a mission team to Niger, Chrystal's candid reflections illuminated the transformative power of embracing discomfort and saying "yes" to opportunities that challenge and expand one's faith. Her emotional rooftop worship experience in Niger, standing at the intersection of past childhood prayers and present-day mission work, left a profound impact. It underscored the significance of missions in expanding the Kingdom of Heaven and the enduring legacy of the Church. Chrystal's narrative serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact of international missions on faith, urging listeners to embrace the call to spread the gospel beyond their comfort zones, and living out the Great Commission.
"I think it's just given me a bigger picture of the kingdom of heaven. I know it's easy for us to kind of get stuck in our routines, you know, in the way that we live our life, maybe even the way that we think about missions. But it's kind of just casted a bigger vision for me to not be afraid to go outside of my comfort zone, that God is going to always hold us in those moments and guide us through those moments that even though they're not going to always be easy, they're going to challenge you." - Chrystal Hobart
