This is stories & illustrations on mission and sent for adults, drawing on Jeremiah 29:11 and Jeremiah 29:7. It carries an emotional tone of hope, peace and trust.

Jeremiah 29:11's hope included missional vocation. God's plans weren't just to rescue them FROM Babylon but to use them IN Babylon. Wherever God has "exiled" you—that's your mission field. Seek its welfare. God's future plans include your present faithfulness right where you are.
