Grieving the heart-breaking conclusion of what she'd believed was her life-long calling, Wetherell Johnson's journey home to England collided with a Divine appointment when five California women asked her to teach them more about the Bible.She agreed and that Bible study with five women grew into an organization which exploded into a movement that now ministers to hundreds of thousands of studen.
