Women of the Word EMUNAH

What does it really cost to say ā€œyesā€ to God? For two Christian missionaries, the answer includes surrendering personal comfort, letting go of their own plans, and learning to listen before offering help. It also includes joy, unexpected relationships, and lessons that continue long after a mission trip ends.

In this episode of Emunah—Hebrew for faith, belief—host Dr. Tamara M. Henry welcomes longtime missionary Zereta V. Young, affectionately known as Mother Z, and Evangela Butler-Sherman, Assistant Director of International Missions at First Baptist Church of Glenarden International.

Bible Verse

NOVEMBER 2026

A prayer of David.

Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.Ā 

PSALM 86: 1-12
