about the series
Lists, gifts, menus, parties, shopping. How many times have you arrived on Christmas Eve and realized you missed the real “reason for the season?” MARKINC invites you to be intentional about cultivating intimacy with Jesus on our way to Christmas this year. Join us on our "Journey to Christmas with the Midwives of the Messiah" where we pull back the curtains on the lives of five women: a wounded widow, a professional prostitute, an indomitable immigrant, a bathing beauty, and a terrified teenager. Each of these women plays a key part in bringing Jesus into the world. They are harlots and heroines, midwives of the Messiah. We’ll get a glimpse into how God gave each of them a priceless gift that could not be broken, each gift is available to us today.
These five women have taught me so much! I can't wait to journey to Christmas with them - and you!
