When we look at the needs in the world around us, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. And that feeling often leads to paralyzing inaction. With so much to do, how do we know where to start? We feel unqualified to lead change; however, God leads through unlikely people. We start by discovering the purpose and mission God has designed for us. As followers of Jesus, we have been called to make a difference for the kingdom of God.
