Follow Your Calling
Our research has shown that neither quality of life nor even family considerations stand as the biggest barriers between people and missions. Instead, the greatest concerns are:
1 . Is this God’s will for my life?
2 . How will the finances work?
This book deals with issue number one. And often, if that is fully settled, issue number two becomes less of a barrier to overcome.
“The Lord makes a path for our steps.” (Ps 85:13) God’s call on our lives is to be actively stepping forward.
