Alison talks about how her professional experiences prepared her heart for missions and how a persistent sense of calling finally led her to take a leap of faith. From a deep desire to serve alongside her family to discovering that God’s plan was uniquely for her, Alison’s story highlights the importance of faith over fear and trusting the Holy Spirit’s guidance even when the path seems unclear.
