INTERACTIVE GUIDE

them, so they can experience
Him working through them
Saying YES to God's invitations

Did you know that
God is at work around us all the time?
Every single day. Every single moment.
He’s always doing something new and wonderful.
And He wants us to join Him!
We just need to open up our eyes,
tune in our hearts to what God is doing
and wants to do through your family,
and then say “Yes!” to His invitations.
This simple guide
will lead you each step of the way
as you discover your family’s divine callinga
life-saving mission tailored
just for you.

Wherever you are, God has put you there;
He has a purpose in your being there.
Christ who lives in you has something
He wants to do through you where you are.
Believe this and go in His grace
and love and power.
Go back in time and talk about how you
ended up where you’re right now?
(your state, town, neighborhood, house)
What do you think God had in mind when
He led you to this particular house?
Have you dedicated your home to
the Lord for His use and His purposes?
Is your home a museum of artifacts
and precious belongings or a place where
people are more important than things,
where people feel accepted, welcome,
and loved?

a Bible kid’s club with your children’s friends
or running a Backyard VBS in the summer?

with no close family or who has recently
gone through tragedy (loss) to whom

We're never more fully alive
and complete than when we experience
God working
through us and in spite of us in a way that changes
someone's life right before our eyes.
Nothing compares to the wonder of seeing
God's goodness and glory break through
—and knowing we played part in it.
- Bruce Wilkinson
Will your family say
