Hello!
My name is Abigail Murillo. I am from Costa Rica and this is my story :)
- I have been in the world of missions for about 10 yrs now. And if you ask me, it feels like it was yesterday when I was on my knees committing to the Lord to follow his lead no matter where, no matter the cost. It has been a journey of getting to know his leadership, his faithfulness, his generosity and his love in ways I never thought could be possible to experience.
I think it’s funny how the things that scares us the most tend to be what the Lord ends up using for our lives with him whether in ministry or where he has called you. Never in my life would I guess I would be using music, teaching the Bible and my love for deep relationships as a bridge to connect others to the heart of God. Though I am a wild spirit at heart, it takes me a bit sometimes to let it out there, so this in itself has been a journey of learning how to love, serve and expand his kingdom on this earth. A bit about me.. I’m passionate about good food, laughter is one of the things that brings me the most joy in life, and I am always keen for a good walk and a good conversation. This life is surely a gift and the giver is even better!
-THE PACIFIC ISLANDS-
For about 3 years the Lord led me to a sweet journey of getting to know him (and myself) through studying His Word while getting my degree with the University of the Nations(AA in Biblical Studies), and staffing the School of Biblical Studies(9 month intensive inductive Bible School). I can honestly say that understanding the Bible has shifted and solidify what leadership, missions and ministry looks like and the importance of having a firm foundation in order to walk into whatever the Lord is leading.
The biggest take away of that season is that our main calling in this life is to love God and love others & become more like him. Everything else is a gift from him. What a special season it was.

–THE NETHERLANDS-
During my season in the Pacific Islands I felt the Lord leading me into a season of giving out what he has given me. Practically this looks like helping facilitate a 3 month Bible school with the goal of ending Bible illiteracy in the body of Christ and providing biblical training to local communities as we go into nations. Studies report that only 39% of Christians actually read their bibles and a little less than that have read through the entire bible(Benjamin Hawkins, The Pathway website). So how can we equip those fiery hearts with biblical foundation so they can go and do what the Lord has called them to do? How can we go and take the love/word of Christ to those exactly where they are at?
To live a life showing others what the love of God is and what it does to you is the greatest treasure and adventure to have.
Fighting biblical illiteracy is so important in order to see the desired change within ourselves, the body of Christ, and the nations. Europe as a whole is known for being a place with such rich history in Christianity and the impression I felt the Lord giving for Amsterdam was that this is his Holy Ground and he wants to bring back the original design of the land through his word.
