“There is always a solution,” said David’s father. “Analyse the situation. Examine your resources and capacity. Develop an ethical plan. Pray for strength and for God to lead. Commit yourself to it without fear. Learn from your mistakes.”

When David and Elizabeth Syme were called to serve as missionaries in Ethiopia in 1966, they had no knowledge of the culture or language—and no idea what they were getting themselves in to. This was only the beginning of their missionary journey and decades of service in international development.

Full of lessons about working across cultures and working with a gracious and trustworthy God, this book is inspirational reading for all those seeking to demonstrate and proclaim the gospel to the world.

Each short story, of a couple of pages each, begins with a bible verse and concludes with three contemplative and challenging questions for the reader - ideal for use as a devotional or small group conversation starter.
