Missionary Alana Smith is a former band director from Arkansas who is now ministering in France as a youth pastor and as part of the leadership team at her church. She began songwriting and playing guitar during her personal worship times while in France, and her love for music and the French church eventually led to the release of her album Trésor.
In this conversation, Alana shares how God led her into a ten-year season of preparation and confirmation before finally leading her to the mission field in France. She reminds us that when we follow Jesus closely each day, we can trust that we are right where we need to be.
