One such vessel from a small church in Langley, Ohio is blessed with incredible spiritual abilities that can only be compared to those housed by Philip in the Book of Acts. Sarah, a woman of unbreakable faith, has been blessed with the ability to transport from one place to another in an instant as well the gift of speaking in tongues. With these unique abilities, she is sent on various assignments by God to bring salvation and faith to those who have lost their way. From a man as powerful as a cardinal of the church to a pastor who committed a sin that could cost him his church to a single mother with children encouraged to return to her ex, no one is exempt from God's saving grace through His vessel. Encounters with the enemy are an unfortunate addition as danger lurks in the shadows with each assignment, casting Sarah into numerous battles against Satan and his minions.
