Hannah Cho

The lettering printed across the panels, in order:
- God Calls Samuel: One night, young Samuel was sleeping in the temple where the ark of God was. "Samuel!" "What? Did you call me?"
- Samuel Listens: Samuel ran to Eli and said, "You called me." But Eli said, "I didn't call you. Go back and sleep." "I didn't call you, my son. Go back and sleep."
- God Calls Again: God called Samuel again, and this time Eli knew it was the Lord. "Samuel!" "Go and lie down. If He calls you again, say, 'Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening.'"
- Samuel Obeys: God called Samuel again, and Samuel answered, "Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening." And God spoke to him. "I have a plan for you, Samuel. I will use you to do great things." "Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening."
"Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening." — 1 Samuel 3:9
