Every child of God has a place - and a part to play. This is true regardless of our past or our present situations - in fact, God uses "where we've been" and "where we are right now" to equip and position us for ministry!
Those places and parts can be very different, because we are on different journeys, face different challenges and have different gifts. Yet we share common missions such asmaking disciples and demonstrating the love of Jesus.
