When tragedy strikes, a young woman looks for a reason to hope, and she finds it in another country. She discovers a God who is filled with grace, especially for those that seek Him. Her journey encourages all of us in own search for hope.

Week 1: A Way Forward, Ruth 1:15-18, August 14, 2022

When three women each lose their husbands, they must begin to rebuild their lives. Two women choose to return to their homeland, but Ruth makes a different decision. When the future offers her little hope, God provides a way forward on an unexpected path.
