She feels God nudging her toward ministry, but what options are
there for a young single woman?
Emily Evans has a hard time getting herself to class on time, much
less figuring out God's will for her life. Then, to her surprise,
she feels that God is calling her into full-time Christian service.
She expects the Lord will also provide her with a companion to
share her life and ministry, but Emily does not want to marry any
of the available young men. She squares her shoulders and decides
she will accept the task of opening a new church in a pioneer
community--alone.
When Emily arrives at her new assignment, she is disappointed to
find the church building in disrepair. After many days of hard work
fixing it up, she announces her first service and is once again
disappointed, this time in the size of her congregation. Is her
faith strong enough to stand against the local doubters and myriad
challenges that will test her calling?
