About this episode

Send us a text

Stewart Fletcher is the fifth of ten kids. He promised his younger brothers that he would serve a mission but found it more complicated than the typical missionary. So after delaying submitting his papers, Stewart finally went out, only to realize he wasn't ready. Stewart came back home, rinsed, and repeated. After going out to the mission field for the third time, he was confronted with Covid, as every missionary was, but he had experience that no other missionary had. Stewart had fought so hard to be out on the mission, and while there was a lot of confusion and fear throughout the mission, he felt excitement and optimism.


As you listen to his story and insights, you will ask yourself what unique plan God must have for you when things seem to be going wrong on the surface.

Remember, God is good and is planning on your success. And though you've been released from your mission, you haven't been released from your ministry.
