Traveling Under Concealed Orders: A School Almost Left Behind is an intriguing account of how God miraculously called six women from different walks of life together to pray fervently for a very troubled inner city school. However, before the women came together, God saved them, taught them His ways, and put a deep desire in their hearts to please Him. After this transformation, the women were able to be used by God for His glory. Each woman was called to this school according to God s set time, unaware of the extraordinary mission He had in store for her. In addition to reading about the school s amazing deliverance, important principles are taught: importance of prayer, how to hear from God, how to be led by the Holy Spirit, and much more. This book will inspire you to trust, lean, and walk in the plan God has for your life.
