EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada (BP)--As a writer, an internationally known speaker, president of Alabaster Flask Ministries, a wife and mother of three teenage boys, it’s easy to think Mary Kassian wouldn't have time for ministry.
      "Our home has always had a revolving door," Kassian said. "We're always having Bible studies and ministering to people. And when you're homeschooling three children, sometimes ministry takes on a different form."
      But Kassian and her husband, Brent, believe ministry happens "where you're at."
