It’s a story of international relations, politics, and spirituality. And, along with so many other stories throughout the Bible, it serves as a reminder of how God’s involvement begins with everyday moments that serve as a catalyst for something much larger than we could ever imagine. We might not feel qualified in the moment but if we listen and answer the call, we don’t know who else may be reached or how.
