Perils & Promises, Life on Mission
This is the story of someone who has discovered the great gift of giving. It is a story of how God can work through your life and change the course of not only your life but of hundreds of others as you share God’s great love and compassion with them. From the comfort of home and career, God called David and Frances and thrust them onto the cutting edge of mission. Going where people were hurting and struggling, yet proud and not open to outsiders, they have given themselves. They became God’s instrument of Grace and healing and have made a difference with eternal value. I pray that the Lord will speak to you, as He spoke to them while you read this remarkable story.
