Did Mother Teresa see a career's counsellor?

This is the intriguing question posed by Mal Fletcher last Sunday at Hillsong Church, London.

Mother Teresa left behind a powerful legacy of faith which changed the world for the better.

But how did this former geography teacher in a comfortable middle-class girls' school come to decide that she should invest her considerable energy and skills in reaching out to the poorest of the poor in Calcutta?

'More importantly,' said Mal, 'How can you and I know where we should invest our time and skills?'

'We spend many of our waking hours and work, and while we've become better at discussing money in the church we hardly ever talk about work.'

If you're asking questions about the work you're currently doing, or looking for direction on your future career, you shouldn't miss Mal's high-impact message on the theology of work.

I thoroughly loved reading The Joseph Chronicles, and found it to be very encouraging. Mal, you're more than an inspiration - you're a catalyst for change.

I love your "innocence vs ignorance" idea (Daily Recharge). We all can return to that place of innocence even if others have previously stolen it or we have lost it. Thanks for all your encouragement every morning.
