A mother exercises a true ministry in her home.
When you think of missionaries in remote corners of the world, when you read their moving testimonies, staying home to fulfill your daily parental role can make you feel trapped in an uninspiring life. Mothers, don't despair! Your calling is sacred and of the utmost importance: to serve your family.
Mothers and missionaries have more in common than you might think. A missionary will almost certainly have to learn a foreign language, discover new horizons and another culture to understand and communicate with those around them. They will have to be ready to sacrifice their comfort, sleep, and time… But doesn't that sound strangely similar to what a mother experiences every day?
With humor, Shontell Brewer explores all aspects of a mother's daily life, filled with countless small tasks that seem insignificant and go unnoticed. And yet, she carries out a true ministry within her home. In her relationships with her family, the seed she sows in their hearts is eternal. One's missionary work begins in one's own home.
