After 2 long years, HE'S HOME!
My son has offered the last 2 years of his life as a missionary for @Ch_JesusChrist, serving in Santiago, Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴
He has had many days without running water or electricity. He's walked the streets, knocked on doors, and talked to every person he met.
At a time where he could have been playing D1 football (he committed to play prior to leaving), he made the choice to leave everything behind and share a message that brings true joy to our life! He was not forced... but chose to go serve.
On Friday night, after not seeing him for 2 years, he arrived here in Utah. My favorite part of the video is seeing my wife jump for excitement when she sees him walk through those doors!
Pure joy. So proud of @jackson_blake4. He left a young man and has grown to be a man. He loves His Savior and loves everyone around him. I could not be more proud to be his dad. Glad to have him home!!
@BrockBlake@Ch_JesusChrist What a beautiful testimony of faith, sacrifice, and love for the Savior. 🙏❤️ Giving two years to serve others and share the Gospel is truly inspiring. May God bless Jackson and your family abundantly, and may his example encourage many more to serve with love and compassion.
@30MinMinistries Amen 🙏❤️ May God answer that prayer, and mine too—that He provides for every starving and vulnerable child living without parents on the streets, through the hearts and generosity of kindhearted people. Lord, please hear our prayers. 🙏😭❤️
@TrentRead What a beautiful way to honor 5 years of faithful service. 🙏❤️ Wishing you many blessings in Primary—you’ll surely make a difference in the lives of those little ones. May God continue using your kind heart to bring hope and love to others. 🙏
@MerianneJensen@congressdj What a beautiful trip and memories to make! ❤️🙏 Meanwhile, some children don’t dream of Japan—they simply dream of having a good meal and feeling cared for. May God use those who can to bring hope and joy to these little ones too. Every child deserves to smile. ❤️
@BlackBlessedLDS@Ch_JesusChrist@NelsonRussellM I truly appreciate this spirit of peace and respect. 🙏 We’re also trying to use this platform to share God’s love by caring for children in need and bringing hope to our community. I’d be honored if you’d follow us back and walk with us in this mission. ❤️ God bless you!
@jaredadairbell What a beautiful reunion after 20 years. ❤️ The people who shape our lives and leave a lasting impact are truly special. Wishing you many more meaningful moments and memories together. 🙏

A simple bottle of soda, but a big moment of happiness for a child who had gone a long time without tasting one.
This is why I keep going. One child, one act of kindness, one smile at a time.
Join me for moments like this. 🙏❤️

@30MinMinistries Amen! 🙏🏾 Jesus is my Lord and Savior too. I believe serving those in need is one way we can put His love into action. May God connect us with more believers willing to care for vulnerable children and families. ❤️🙏🏾
@Ch_JesusChrist@BednarDavidA “Such a powerful reminder. 🙏🏽 The temple truly is a sacred point of intersection between heaven and earth. I especially love the counsel to be intentional—even when the temple is close by, we shouldn’t allow familiarity or convenience to keep us from seeking—-
@Tybo828282 Amen. 🙏❤️ There is something deeply powerful about knowing that God is not only our strength in difficult seasons, but the One we can love and trust through it all. May we never forget where our strength comes from.
Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
King James Version (KJV)
@Tybo828282 Amen. 🙏🏻 Romans 8:28 is such a powerful reminder that even when we don't understand what God is doing, we can still trust His purpose. May He continue to strengthen our faith and guide our steps. 🙏🏻

@the_churchnews This is beautiful to see. 🙏🏻 When people of faith come together to serve their communities, lives can truly be changed. Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with love, dignity, education, and hope. ❤️ May God continue to bless every effort that brings that hope to us.
@jesse_k_fox@ComeUntoChrist Beautifully said. 🙏🏻 Life brings so many questions and uncertainties, but Christ remains our constant source of hope. I’ve seen that hope reflected in the smiles of children we care for—reminding me that His love is meant to be lived and shared with others. ❤️
@ComeUntoChrist Amen. 🙏🏻 Jesus truly remains constant through every season of life. May we never forget the children and vulnerable people who need to experience His love through us. ❤️
