Bloom Where You're Planted ― Stories of Women in Church Planting

Bloom Where You're Planted is about God’s glory revealed in women who answer that call in a uniquely fearsome way. It is about pastor’s wives, more specifically, it is the story of leaders who step out in faith, and leaving everything solid and secure behind them, partner with their husbands in planting new churches.

Blooming where you are planted is one of the most difficult things any woman can do. Being uprooted from all you hold dear can take it’s toll. But if you are blooming, you are thriving. You are beautiful to behold wherever you have been planted.

If you have been called on this difficult journey, remember above all else, you are not alone! And I don’t just mean that Jesus is with you always. I mean there are women today doing what you are doing and thriving. Never forget that a great cloud of witnesses has gone before you over the ages. Women who have bloomed on the mission field, in the New World, on the prairie, out West, across the seas, in Rome. We are the lucky ones, we live in a time when communication and encouragement between other women walking this same journey is easy.

This book is about the journey of a church planting wife, a pastor’s wife. A woman who chooses to bring beauty and peace to those around her, by blooming recklessly where God has planted her.
