As we look into the lives of ordinary women who stepped onto the pages of history to do extraordinary things for God we can realize their truth in our own lives, that God lifted women up and gave them important tasks for His purposes. He does the same today for anyone, male or female, who will answer the call of Isaiah 6:8 “Then I heard a voice saying “whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said here am I Lord, send me.” Our eighteen week study is available for middle school age or teens/adults and contains stories of women who dared to put their trust in the God of Israel, even if it meant taking a huge risk. As we look at these women we learn about the godly character traits they exhibited and how to apply them to our lives today.
