His stories wonderfully illustrate how one intrepid family and a class of students can combine global adventure with academic purpose. -- Seth Barnes Founder, Adventures in Missions Reading this book reminded me of how God can use ordinary people to produce extraordinary results for His kingdom throughout the world.

The experiences shared in this story book prove that time and time again. -- Steven J.
