Note to the Reader
Thank you for opening this book. I want to be honest with you from the start—this is not a book filled with easy answers or tidy endings. What you’ll find here are stories from the front lines of ministry, stories that are messy, painful, and sometimes even hopeful.
This book is about the hard work of loving people whose lives don’t fit into neat boxes—people who live on the edges of society, who carry wounds we might never fully understand. It’s about the tension between hope and heartbreak, faith and frustration, grace and grit.
If you come expecting a polished, perfect version of ministry, you might feel uncomfortable. But if you’re willing to sit with the discomfort, to lean into the raw reality of this work, I hope you’ll catch a glimpse of a God who shows up most clearly in the broken places.
These stories are not mine alone. They belong to countless unnamed heroes who live with pain and courage every day. I share them with humility, respect, and deep gratitude.
May this book challenge you, encourage you, and remind you that ministry isn’t a program or a project—it’s messy, real, and sacred work.
Welcome to the journey.
— Sarah
