Come Sit With Me

Sometimes the woman who spends her life encouraging others needs someone to sit beside her and encourage her.

Come Sit With Me: A Word for Women in Ministry is a warm, personal conversation for women who have answered God's call to serve-whether from a platform, behind the scenes, beside a husband in ministry, in compassion work, through missions, in a local church, or simply wherever God has opened a door.

Drawing from more than forty-five years of ministry, Tonya Hancock shares the lessons, friendships, unexpected opportunities, joyful memories, difficult transitions, and unmistakable faithfulness of God she has experienced along the way.

These pages are not another list of things faithful women should be doing. They are an invitation to remember.

Remember the people God allowed you to love.
Remember the doors you never could have opened for yourself.
Remember the prayers, the laughter, the friendships, and the seemingly small moments that mattered more than you knew.
And when the road becomes difficult, remember how faithfully God has already led you.

With honesty and gratitude, Tonya writes about calling, ministry friendships, changing roles, disappointment, rest, mentoring younger women, releasing responsibilities, remaining open to new opportunities, and the joy of watching God work through ordinary acts of faithfulness.

Above all, Come Sit With Me is a reminder that ministry is not simply something we give our lives to-it is an extraordinary privilege God allows us to share.

Roles may change. Seasons may change. The way we serve may change.

But the heart can remain.

And through every season, there is still joy in saying:

"Lord, thank You for allowing me to serve You. What would You have me do next?"
