Join us on Missions Pulse as we explore the heart of God and the call to missions! In this episode, we dive deep into the stories of young missionaries from the Philippines, Josiah Dela Cruz and Jet Macadangdang, who share their journeys and experiences in spreading the gospel in Thailand. Discover how they are overcoming challenges and embracing their unique callings to reach the unreached.

These two awesome Filipinos are part of a powerful youth movement in the Philippines called Jesus Revolution, which is impacting a generation with the gospel and call to missions. Learn more at [www.jesusrev.com](https://www.jesusrev.com/)
