    Kingdom Assignments

    This is the first episode of a new series called "Kingdom Assignments!" Britt, Christa and returning guest, Janice Gutierrez, discuss where this term came from and how Lifesprings ministry schools brought this way of viewing serving from a practicum requirement into everyday Christian life. Janice, who is the former Executive Director of Lifesprings International, pastor and author, explains what G.R.A.P.E.S are and how they can help us discern the ways Jesus is calling us to be part of the mission to love others as He loves us. Janice's book, "Searching for My Brighter Way: Lessons on Learning to Let My Light Shine," can be found on amazon.com.
