A true story born on the mission field
For months, I ran away from God's missionaries. But God never gave up on me.
A true story of calling, faith, mission, miracles, and spiritual transformation.
In 1999, I changed my path, avoided conversations, and even pretended to be asleep so I would not have to meet the missionaries. But the Lord kept touching my heart — and this book tells what happened next.

A true story
Before I was called, I tried to run away.
This book was not born from theory. It was born from a true story. Before serving a mission, I was someone who avoided the missionaries, resisted the call, and had no idea how much God was already preparing my path. But the Lord knows the right time for each of His children.
“Sometimes, God begins to transform our lives precisely when we are trying to run away from Him.”
Have you ever wondered if you are truly prepared to serve God?
Many young people feel the desire to serve a mission, but also carry silent questions in their hearts.
Am I really capable?
What if I can't do it?
What if I miss my family?
What if I don't know how to teach?
Has God really called me?
How can I know if I'm ready?
Parents worry too. Leaders also look for ways to strengthen the youth. Returned missionaries sometimes need to rekindle the sacred memories of their own mission.
“Called by God” was written to touch exactly that place in the soul: the place where doubt meets faith.
This ebook will help you see mission with more faith, courage, and purpose.
In Called by God, you will follow a real journey of missionary service, challenges, tears, answered prayers, conversions, companionship, miracles, and spiritual growth.
“God does not call the perfect. He calls the willing.”
And when someone decides to trust Him, the Lord opens paths, heals wounds, strengthens the soul, and transforms lives.

Testimony
A message born from the heart
No one told me. I felt it within myself.
I prayed a sincere prayer, not only to know, but to promise God that, if it was true, I would follow Him faithfully.
Even if one day someone tried to take from me the word of God, the Book of Mormon, the prophets, and my testimony, I could never deny what I felt.
I know that God is our Heavenly Father.
I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior.
I know that He still calls prophets, apostles, and missionaries in our day.
That is the essence of Called by God: a living, sincere, and spiritual testimony about the power of God in the life of those who choose to serve.
