Harriet Tubman's Thirteen Missions - Black Church (Philippians 4:13)
Harriet Tubman escaped slavery, then returned to the South THIRTEEN TIMES to rescue others—at least 70 people. Slavecatchers offered a $40,000 reward for her capture. She was small, had seizures from an old head injury, and was a Black woman in a violently racist society. How did she do it? She said, "I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger." Her strength wasn't her own. Philippians 4:13 was survival: strength to do what should have been impossible, through Christ who strengthened her.
