MY BOOKFind Out About My Experiences In South Sudan
|
If your only exposure to 21st century missions is what’s happening in the slickly civilized cities of the world, it may be time to expand your horizons. In Pursuit of Glory, Vince Ward takes you to the rough and tumble primitive surroundings of South Sudan—where over the last decade, with no electricity or running water, he’s helped a small team plant a dozen local churches, launch a radio station, and create an elementary school with 165 students. But this is really two books in one. Ward’s 15-year-old son Samuel writes the final 12 chapters, challenging comfy stateside readers to watch the growth of God’s kingdom through the eyes of a wonderfully perceptive boy. The interplay between father and son (not to mention a remarkable cobra-killing wife and mother) will stretch your thinking about the courage and commitment it still takes to be a missionary in some parts of the world. |
