S4 26: From Kansas to Africa: Following God’s Lead With Becky Spencer

When most of their children were grown and out of the house, God called Becky Spencer and her husband to care for children in need in Africa—over 9,000 miles away from their home in Kansas. Becky joins Sarah to share her testimony of following God’s lead and being met by His faithfulness every step of the way. Her testimony of choosing to love before you feel loving, experiencing God’s restorative forgiveness, and following His call to take compassionate action in ministry is an encouraging and provoking example.    Grand Staff Ministries  Child Sponsorship  Donate to Grand Staff Ministries  Grand Staff Thrift Boutique  When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor... or Yourself by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert  A Bruised Reed: Memoirs of African Orphans and Their Rescuers by Becky Spencer  When God Comes Down Like Rain, Overcoming Obstacles to Faith by Becky Spencer (coming soon)  The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman  Primal: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity by Mark Batterson  The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson    Are you prepared to make the case for life?

The Colson Fellows program was designed for men and women with full, busy lives. The program combines theological, spiritual, and worldview formation through a carefully curated combination of readings, daily devotions, live webinars, and monthly meetings with your peers. Interesting but wondering if you have the time or what it takes to complete the program? I assure you, it’s well worth your investment and has been completed by many women in all stages and seasons of life. Interested in learning more?
