What If Your Missionary Vision Suddenly Changes? with Jonathan & Amanda Vining

You felt sure. God gave you a vision, you raised the funds, you moved overseas. But then things didn’t go as planned. The vision changed—or maybe you changed. In this episode, Jonathan and Amanda Vining share their powerful story of navigating unexpected shifts, how they learned to walk with God in uncertainty, and why vision isn’t a one-time download—it’s something you live, adapt, and grow into.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:
What to do when your vision shifts unexpectedly
How to tell the difference between passion and calling
Ways to communicate change with supporters
Why small steps of obedience lead to breakthrough
How to move forward when you're unsure what's next
