    When we think of a call, we often think of a full-time vocation. This message looks at what it means to be called to the Marketplace.

    When you hear that someone has been called to something or has answered a call on their life, who do you think of? A preacher? A missionary? Maybe a doctor, a nurse or a teacher.
