And then they start talking about, hey, well, when did you feel that in your heart? And when do you feel that nudge? And as they're talking about it, they were looking, they're like, we think he called us at the exact same time. Wow. And so they decided. So he goes to his board and he's like, hey, God called me to the Philippines. OK, let's go.
We got to go raise money and we got to go to send you guys off. And what are you thinking? You know, six months or a year from now, you're going to leave. And he said, no, God called me. We have to go. And so they literally packed everything up and within days left and took four kids to the Philippines.
And it's just such an example of one of the reasons why my parents are just some of my biggest heroes, because their willingness to say yes when God calls, they've said yes. And so we are in the Philippines and living, and my dad is before I was born and my dad is in a very remote island.
Philippines is made up of thousands of islands and he's in a remote island and he's getting ready to preach and he just starts weeping uncontrollably for all of the, God puts on his heart, all the babies that are being aborted around the world, but specifically in America. And as he's just weeping, God puts it on his heart to have another baby.
and to name that baby Timothy, which means honoring God. And so he finishes preaching and goes home. And he says, hey, to my mom, God put it on my heart that we need to have another baby. And she's like, they already had four. And my mom's like, well, God didn't put it on my heart. So I don't know. But she decided she's going to start praying about it.
And not long after, she started praying about it. Not long after that, God put it on her heart, too. that they needed to have another baby and at least try. Not long after that, she became pregnant.
preparewithshawn.com At least they thought she was pregnant. But then some of the doctors were saying that it's not even a baby. It might be a mass of fetal tissue. It might be a tumor. And so actually... Shawn, my first nickname was Timmy the Tumor. So try getting rid of that one from four older siblings.
But they said, hey, with all of these issues, and there were so many issues that she was having, they said, you need to have an abortion because she had amoeba dysentery. The placenta wasn't properly attached. She even went into a coma in a certain time of the pregnancy. And they said, you need to have an abortion. It'll cost you your life. It'll cost you your baby's life.
And with her faith and my dad and all the people praying for him, she had the courage to say, no, we're going to trust God. And I'm so grateful that she did. And months later, the doctor that was helping my mom deliver me was a doctor that had done I helped thousands of women. And when I was finally born and he handed me to my mom, he said, I have no idea how your baby boy survived.
It's the greatest miracle I've ever seen. I don't know how he got the nutrients. I don't know how he's alive. The placenta only has a tiny bit that's attached. All of these issues, I just don't know how he survived. And I was malnourished, and so my family continued to send out prayer requests to people around the world. And so many people were praying for me. when I was a baby.
I was malnourished, but I tried to make up for it quickly. I'm just so grateful that I could be here even sitting with you today because my mom trusted God and gave me a chance and my parents' faithfulness and all the people that prayed for me because I do believe prayer is powerful. Yesterday we were just in D.C. celebrating the National Day of Prayer.
There was over 70,000 groups around America that were praying together yesterday. There is power in prayer, and I'm just so grateful that God answered that prayer to give me a chance. Wow.
Yeah, not as much from when we were living there because we moved back when I was about five. So I don't remember a little bit of it, glimpses of it, but then we went back so many times because we moved back to the States, to the west side of Jacksonville, Florida, but my dad would be gone about half of the year over there.
And so many times I got to go with him and siblings and we would get to go back and we spent a lot of summers going back with him. to be able to do mission work with them. So I remember more of that than I do from when I was young. How do you, was it dangerous at all? My parents would try to keep the kids in some of the areas that were safer.
But my parents went through a lot of areas that were dangerous. My dad in certain of the countries that he went into to share the gospel got put in jail. My dad got told to leave so many times. My dad, multiple times they told him, hey, if you stand up and share the gospel, we're going to kill you. Are you serious?
And he would stand up and he would tell them, but I just want to tell you how much God loves you. And he would share his heart. And one time specifically that I can remember, a man showed up and he was in the back of the...
the audience and he showed up with a machete and as he starts making his way forward and my dad says something his heart is pricking him telling him to start talking about forgiveness and he does and this man's making his way closer and closer and he finally gets and stands right in front of my dad and he just says um i was sent here to kill you but i heard you talking about forgiveness and i just want to ask if you would forgive me and um
Just so grateful for my parents' faith and not just the faith like, oh, Sunday in church, but the faith in the hard moments and say yes to God because I got to see that so many times. I got to see my dad say to my mom when we had such little money, hey, it's okay. Give the rest away. I got to see that multiple times in my life. My mom gave the rest away.
And both times people came over that evening for dinner and said, we don't know why we're supposed to do this. We just knew we were supposed to give you, bring dinner to you guys. And it was just like a God wink moment, as my wife loves to say, of like, you know, God saw that faithfulness. So, so many times I got to see that. And, you know, one of the things that
that I think when I even start to regurgitate some of these stories, and there's so many more, I got to see so much of that and still see God's faithfulness and His hand work in my parents' life and in the life of so much of the ministry, and still so many times I would just fall short and screw up from it. And, you know, it's something that
