At Home in God’s Calling | A Calling Story with Rio Handley (Ep. 197)
Hear from Rio Handley, Associate Regional Director of East Asia and Oceania, about how God has been at work as she has lived in different homes and held different roles over the course of her years in missions.
- “I feel at home where God has placed me. I feel at home at the center of His will.”
- “I’ve seen the grace of God in my life, and I’ve seen how God moves.”
- “Missions is not just the missionary’s responsibility; missions is the church’s responsibility.”
- “We cannot put missionaries on a pedestal because we are all part of one Body, and when God calls people to missions, it has to be the whole church in support of that.”
- “Being a teacher and being intentional in doing missions is very important.”
- “Being a teacher is having that connection in the lives of your students and that opportunity to change lives and let alone the opportunity to share life [and] Jesus Christ.”
What’s changing our lives:
- Keane: Reading Father Brown mysteries
- Heather: Scheduling posts and chats in Microsoft Teams
- Rio: Learning how to drive
