247 | Called to Missions: Miraculous stories from Uganda, becoming a missionary, and supporting missions even without going abroad with Julianne Heilman
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to step into the mission field for Jesus —or how you can make a difference for the kingdom in global missions without leaving home — this is your episode.
Today, I’m joined by Julianne Heilman, founder of Asifiwe Child Care Ministries in Uganda, a life-changing ministry that rescues vulnerable children, gives them hope and opportunity, and shares the love of Jesus. Think stories you’ve only read in missionary biographies—except they’re happening right now.
This conversation is extra special for me, because She Lives Purposefully began as a college project where I interviewed six women who live with purpose—and Julianne was one of them! Now, years later, we get to sit down again and hear how God has been moving in powerful ways.
In This Episode, We Talk About:
How Julianne knew she was called by God to missions—and the spiritual & practical steps to take if you feel the same
How Asifiwe Child Care Ministries began and where it is today
How to support missions even if you’re not called to go abroad
Ways you can get involved
Whether you’re praying about your own call to missions, looking for ways to support from home, or just want to be encouraged by God’s faithfulness, this conversation will inspire and challenge you.
