When our story veers off-script, how do we find a faith-filled purpose that transcends our expectations?

Born with half a heart, 20-year-old musician Elder Logan Castleton entered his mission knowing his path would look different than most. Having undergone countless heart surgeries and struggles throughout his life, he was thrilled to be called as a proselyting missionary in Chicago. 

However, when his health took a turn, he found himself unable to continue in that role and was unsure about his future as a missionary. But rather than surrendering to discouragement, he focused on his faith, transforming his health challenges into a unique opportunity to share the Gospel through rap music.

Now known as “The Rapping Missionary,” Elder Castleton intertwines his passion for music with his steadfast testimony, using the power of inspired melodies and honest storytelling to uplift others, testify of Christ’s love, and show the world that even the most fragile heart can become an instrument of divine purpose.

Elder Castleton’s authentic reflections illuminate the truth that, even when your mission doesn’t follow the script you’d planned, there’s still purpose, growth, and genuine hope to turn things around for the better. His journey proves that God’s love shows up in unexpected ways—and that the covenant path is always worth walking, no matter how unfamiliar the scenery.
