    2025/08/13
    Adoption to Rescue Mission: Missy Maxwell Worton’s True Story of Faith and CourageWhen Missy Maxwell Worton traveled to Ethiopia to finalize the adoption of her daughter, Favor, she expected a short embassy appointment and a joyful trip home. Instead, she and her husband, Mark, found themselves in a dangerous, high-stakes rescue mission that would test their faith, endurance, and courage at every turn.This episode of Witness the Wonder tells the powerful, true story behind Missy’s award-winning book Don’t Mess With This Mama. It is a testimony of God’s miraculous protection, the power of unity in marriage, and the choice to reject fear in favor of love, even in life-threatening situations.In This Episode:How an adoption trip turned into a fight for a child’s lifeThe powerful and dangerous man determined to stop Favor from leaving EthiopiaLosing travel documents and being forced into hiding in a region surrounded by radical extremismThe role of forgiveness and unity in winning spiritual battlesMiraculous moments of divine intervention and angelic protectionThe Scriptures and prophetic words that gave them strengthThe victory that brought Favor home — and how God used it to free other children tooMissy shares how she and Mark faced corrupt officials, survived attempted kidnappings, navigated a court battle in a foreign country, and witnessed wonders that could only be explained by God’s direct hand. Her story reminds us that God’s plans are bigger than our own and that choosing love over fear opens the door to breakthrough.Key Quotes from Missy:“If you’re fighting against each other, then you’re not together, which God commands us to be one and work it out, so that we can step forward victoriously in what He has for us.”“God has won this victory and we’re getting home.”Why This Story Matters:This is more than an adoption story. It is a reminder that faith in action can change lives, protect the vulnerable, and even shift the course of history for others. Missy’s testimony will strengthen your trust in God’s timing, challenge you to examine where fear may be holding you back, and inspire you to hold onto His promises in your own battles.📚 Get Missy’s BookDon’t Mess With This Mama is available now.

    Ep. 10 | Covered by Grace | How God Showed Up in Prison Cells…and her Ministry’s Bank Account | Angela Pedigo’s True Story | Part 2 | Supernatural Miracle Moments in Everyday Life
    2025/08/06

    Angie Pedigo found herself in a moment of desperation —funds running out and facing the possibility of having to put a For Sale sign on the very house that had become a haven for women in recovery. But what happened next? A divine dream. A bold fast. A miracle check. And a moment so specific, so personal, that only God could have written it.


    In Part 2 of our conversation, Angie shares powerful stories from her prison ministry, including spontaneous worship nights behind bars and a life-changing foot washing moment that brought healing and unity in the most unexpected way.


    You’ll hear how God showed up when it felt like everything was falling apart—and how He used it all to equip her (and others) for what came next.


    🙌 Whether you’ve faced burnout in ministry, financial pressure, or opposition while trying to obey God, this episode will reignite your faith and remind you: He sees you—and He’s not done yet.

    Beverly Brown Simms stopped singing after losing her two-year-old son. For over six years, her voice was silent. But God wasn’t done.

    From the classroom to the stage, her journey is filled with God moments, second chances, and surprise breakthroughs — including a Dove Award nomination for her song It’s Not Over.



    Sometimes the pain that shattered you is the very thing God uses to propel you into your purpose.

    Underground Church | Middle East | True Stories of Costly Faith

    They saw the Man in White in a dream… then walked 10 days to find Him.

    What would you do if following Jesus meant losing your children?

    In Part 2 of Hidden in Plain Sight, we return to the underground church in the Middle East — where believers worship in silence, share the Gospel in secret, and follow Jesus at great personal risk.

    This isn’t ordinary faith.They’re true stories of great sacrifice and undeniable miracles.

    What if following Jesus meant risking everything?


    In this episode of Witness the Wonder, you’ll hear real stories from the Underground Church in Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and Libya—where Christians are risking their lives to follow Jesus in places where faith is forbidden.


    From safe house networks in Pakistan to Afghan believers smuggled across borders, to a Libyan man miraculously freed from prison in Benghazi, these stories reveal how God is moving behind the scenes—even where it’s most dangerous to believe.


    No faces. No names. Just real stories—of miracles, obedience, and the power of the Holy Spirit to guide and protect.

    Ep. 4 | What If Obedience Leaves You Empty? | Katie Campbell’s 30A Prays Story (Part 2) – Starting a Prayer Tent Ministry & Trusting God When Obedience Doesn’t Lead to the Outcome You Expected
    2025/06/25

    What if you gave your all… and ended up with nothing to show for it?


    In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Katie Campbell opens up about what obedience really costs — when the crowd has opinions, the outcome isn’t flashy, and all you’re left holding is an empty jar. But what if that’s not failure… what if that’s the point?


    This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real wrestle between purpose and pressure. And if you’ve ever asked, “Is this even making a difference?” — this one’s for you.
