In this collection of the author's personal missionary stories, you will cross oceans, learn how to live in other cultures, taste foods that you may never have imagined, find out what it's like to live in the middle of wars and famines, raise four happy children, and see God do miracles that change lives for eternity. You will be face-to-face with fanatical fighters, gangs of thieves, and hopeless people. Your job is to learn how to hear God's directions in every situation and then trust Him enough to do exactly what He says--or maybe die. The greatest challenge of all will be to know God yourself.

Africa, India, Indonesia, Lebanon, and Ukraine are some of the places described in these stories. There you will sail among tropical islands, climb snowcapped mountains, walk jungle trails, and meet wild animals. If you survive, you may have the opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. How will you do that? Then what happens? When you see the real God at work, it's worth everything you've ever known, including your very life.

This book is an opportunity for you to know what it's like to be a missionary.
