A Story

Vehicle means the practical way in which you will be able to minister and still be fiscally responsible for your bills, your family, and housing.

Lisa knew that as a Christian she had been called to the ministry of the gospel. She knew that God had laid on her heart the need for women on college campuses. This led her to seek wisdom about what ministry that exists now would be the right vehicle for her gifting, calling, and passion. To help her in her decision the coach took her to the Bible passage listed below.
