Years ago, a woman named Jennifer felt called to serve overseas in missions. She completed training, raised funds, and was only months from leaving when her father fell critically ill. She canceled her trip and stayed to care for him. Over time, life moved on—she married, had children, and quietly tucked that dream away.

Fifteen years later, her church announced a short-term medical mission trip. With encouragement, Jennifer signed up. What was supposed to be a one-week trip became the spark that reignited the dream God had planted long ago. She now leads regular teams to that same region, blending her nursing skills and her long-dormant calling.

Sometimes, we think a dream is dead. But like Jacob discovering Joseph was alive, God surprises us with wagons full of grace. He revives what we thought was gone for good.

Reflection Question:

What God-given dream have you set aside that He may want to revive in your heart?

Prayer Focus:

Pray that everyone at our church will take ownership of the dream God has given us to build. Ask God to revive and strengthen our leaders—pastors, staff, and other leaders—and to refresh areas of your own life that need new life.
