And all the while challenges you to live out your faith, right where you are.

Few people are prepared for crisis or hard times. Some crises come out of the blue, and others can be seen coming a long way off. Awareness of the pending crisis does not change the helplessness people can feel. The value of this study is that it equips believers to be ready to minister. Sometimes we can step into a crisis and readily fix it, but a lot of crises are here for the long haul. The Bible offers us guidance in how we can love, support, and minister to the person in crisis.
