When we think about callings, we often ask, "What is God calling me to do?"

But some other questions are just as important:

"Where is God calling me to go?"
"Is God calling me to stay?"

In Scripture, we see examples of God sending people to specific places, sometimes with no substantive change in what they were doing. Sometimes, the *where* matters more than the *what* to God's purposes.

We also see examples of God telling people to work for the good of the city where they find themselves, even when it's not home. Sometimes the place God "sends" us is the place we already are.
