The Pursuit of His Calling: Following in Purpose

by Florence Muindi

“It was two in the morning and I was sobbing uncontrollably. I had been on my knees since 10 p.m. that night. I reached for my diary above the side table of my high school dormitory bed and with trembling hands opened to November 19, 1981. Then I took a pen and held it tight as if fearing someone might try to pull it out of my hands. Part of me did not want to do it. But this was the day and the hour. I surrendered all my rights. I gave God all I am and will ever be. I allowed Him to own me. I put an end to my kingdom and ushered in His. Whatever that would mean, I gave in. I wrote down my covenant with God and signed it, so I wouldn’t forget. I even sealed this covenant with my very life, just in case I was tempted to change my mind. From that position, and with a purpose, I graduated from high school.” This book is the testimony of what led to such a commitment by the then twenty-year-old girl. She has pursued God, bound by that covenant for the last twenty seven years. She narrates the directions her life has taken driven by that one purpose. It is an adventure story following as God guides and a witness to how God intervenes to cause His will to be done. Following His purpose in covenant for 27 years!

Florence’s book is convicting, engaging and inspiring, one that makes you ask yourself how your life is making a difference for others in this world. Having served in Ethiopia in the early 2000s with the Muindis when Life in Abundance was in its fledgling years, I thoroughly enjoyed reading not only about all the transformational work LIA is currently doing, but of God’s faithfulness in the ways that promises and visions Florence had of this work long ago are now being realized. Reading this book made me long for the intimacy with God that Florence speaks about as well as the stirring desire to see lives around me transformed by the hope and power of the Gospel.

Loved reading Florence's story. I've met her & heard her speak so it was especially touching to read her beginnings in ministry. She is a great example for everyone who follows Christ.
