Abram and Sarai Find A New Home

Where It All Begins

This is where the story of God’s people begins: God’s call to Abraham to go.

In many ways, this is the story of many people in the world today, including many of us and our families. What compels people to leave where they are? What feelings and thoughts go into that process? What is the experience like once one has left?
