Opis

What can God do with one believer who is willing to follow His call? When June Hall McNeely says an unqualified "Yes" to that call, she cannot imagine what God has in store for her: She and her pastor-husband, Gerald, will serve three Kentucky churches and then spend thirty-three years as Southern Baptist missionaries in Spain. In CALLED Step by Step, June traces how God leads through her growing-up years in rural Kentucky, her college years, the Kentucky pastorates, and the years in Spain. With loving care, she pays tribute to her parents and her mentors. With humor and grace, she introduces readers to her husband and describes life as a young pastor's wife and mother. With insight, she describes how she and Gerald answer God's call to serve in Spain. June writes about ministering in a Spain still reeling from the devastating effects of a civil war and ruled by a military dictator. She tells story after story about Spanish believers and churches that are persecuted by the government and yet - through God's grace - they endure and grow. Wife, mother of two daughters, seminary librarian, teacher of wives of seminary students, Woman's Missionary Union leader, hostess for scores of dinners and overnight guests-the list is long of June's responsibilities in Spain. And, through it all, her commitment to follow God step by step continues to be her guiding principle. June's vivid and touching memories of how God uses one woman who places herself in His hands and follows Him will inspire, inform, and encourage believers to follow His call, too.
