The Call to Follow

Welcome to Day 5 of Journey to the Manger! In Luke 5, Jesus begins calling His first disciples, inviting them to leave everything and follow Him. Through miraculous encounters, He reveals His authority and purpose, transforming ordinary lives into extraordinary missions. Join us as we reflect on the call to follow Jesus and what it means for us today!
