Wherever Love May Lead

Some Christians are called to go. Some Christians are called to stay. All Christians are called to live for Him and share God's love with others. But for those who are called to stay, what does working in the mission field look like when the field is in your own backyard? The Bible study is for Christian women who wish to better understand how they can be missionaries right where they live. No matter how busy they are or how ineffective they feel this Bible study will help women discover ways they could be - or already are - God's witnesses in their homes, churches, towns, and even to the end of the earth. Through modern-day vignettes, questions, and journal prompts, women will understand God's call for them to be missionaries right where they are.
