Navigating the Global Mission Field
NOW PLAYING: "I Feel So Alive" by Capital Kings — A sonic declaration of unbridled energy. Empowerment isn't just a state—it's a rhythm, a pulse, a moment of pure, unapologetic existence. Captured by Mitchell Royel—a statement of artistic ownership that transcends mere documentation. Every frame is a manifesto, every image a declaration of creative sovereignty.
Divine Invitation
My beloved PRISM Church LA family,
Every message that arrives from our potential missionaries carries the weight of a divine calling—a sacred invitation to step beyond the familiar and into the extraordinary landscape of global service. These communications are more than mere inquiries; they are spiritual echoes of a profound commitment to spread hope, love, and the transformative power of Christ across continents.
Heart of Mission: More Than Geography
Mission isn’t about destination—it’s about transformation. When our brothers and sisters reach out seeking spiritual guidance for their upcoming journeys to Africa and beyond, they’re not simply requesting travel advice. They’re seeking a deeper understanding of their spiritual purpose.
Key Spiritual Preparations:
Cultivate Radical Surrender
Mission begins in the heart, not on foreign soil
Surrender is an daily act of worship
Your willingness becomes God’s most powerful instrument
Develop Spiritual Resilience
The mission field demands more than physical preparation
Build your inner spiritual fortress through:
Consistent prayer
Deep biblical study
Community accountability
Embrace Cultural Humility
Missions are about relationship, not conquest
Listen more than you speak
Understand that you are there to serve, not to save
PRISM Church LA Commitment

Personal Word of Encouragement
To those feeling called: Your hesitation is natural. Your questions are valid. But remember—God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called.
“And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’” - Mark 16:15

Stay rooted. Stay humble. Stay missional.
In Christ’s service,
Mitchell Royel
