When I was a kid, I used to enter contests in events at family reunions, 4Th of July celebrations, summer community youth programs, Girl Scout camps and the like. There were two contests that I usually had a chance at winning; one was the water balloon/egg toss, and the other was the three-legged race.

No Girls Allowed. Have you ever seen that sign? You probably won’t see it anymore since everything has become a litigation frenzy, but it’s still out there. Sometimes the roadblocks for a woman called to minister in the Kingdom of God can be difficult, and often times, overwhelming.

I realized that in this “mission midset”, I continually asked God to lead me to the right people, or to bring them to me when I was on one of these “mission trips” that I did to extend the Kingdom and release the Body into their places within.
