God has a ministry in mind for every child of God, and discovering that special calling is like the exciting start to a foot race. This practical book will help you recognize God's call on your life. More importantly, you will learn from God's Word how to find the strength and courage you will need to keep running until you have completed all that He has called you to do. Consider Your Call will encourage you to run the race in such a way that you may win the prize.
Gisela Yohannan has ministered to thousands of Christian workers in many countries, teaching God’s Word with deep insight and practical life application. Gisela is married to well-known mission leader and author, K.P. Yohannan, who is the founder and international director of Gospel for Asia. She has written 4 books: Broken for a Purpose, Consider Your Call, Dear Sister and Let Me Walk with You.
Coming from a woman who has been through a lot in her pursuit of God, and her support for her husband, who is serving God by raising, leading and supporting missionaries for Asia, this book carries a profound weight, as readers are exhorted to "Consider Your Call".
Gisela Yohannan's style of writing is a departure from the normal instructional mode of many nonfictional works. In as much as she is qualified to bring the kind of thoughts and instructions contained in this book, she deliberately chose to expose some of her own personal struggles, to show how she had dealt (or how she is currently dealing) with her own fears in responding to God's call.
And by pointing to the LORD Jesus and many others in Scriptures like Moses, Paul and Peter, she encourages us, God's children, to live according to the call we have received, so as to be sure to end well, and to avoid misleading many others who are coming after us.
Many parts of this book were written for those serving as missionaries, but there was a lot of great insight for those who aren't as well. It was good and thought provoking.
