The stunning friendship between a Shunammite Woman and the prophet Elisha

From one woman's simple generosity to a weary man of God we find a story of intense faith and stunning reversals. The Shunammite woman’s heartfelt hospitality to Elisha led to an amazing series of events. Elisha was deeply blessed. And God abundantly blessed the woman’s life during a difficult period in Israel.

In 2 Kings chapter 8 the details of their friendship. Like all women, the Shunammite was challenged by losses and fears which just come from being alive in a broken world. Yet she faced each impossibility with faith in God's character. She humbly and boldly insisted on God's final word over her circumstances. Much like Jacob wrestling with the angel of God, this woman would not let go of God's power and promises.

Nan and Bonnie pray you will find renewed courage from hearing about this woman of fierce faith.
