Each of us was born on purpose.  God placed us on planet earth for this season and in these circumstances for a specific reason.  Our job in life is to discover why God created us, embrace our purpose, and then give ourselves, completely and passionately, to this purpose.  The Purpose-Finders series will help explore the stories of Biblical purpose-finders (people, places, and things) to find wisdom, models, and guidance for how we can discover and fulfill our own God-given purpose.
