Publisher's Synopsis
This inspiring first-hand account of one man's journey as father, pastor, teacher, and church planter spans more than forty years and fifteen countries. He was called from the back roads of Mississippi and thrust into the frenetic pace of the idol-worshiping pagan culture of Taiwan, where he and his wife served as missionaries for twenty-one years. While leading their family in adapting to a strange, completely different culture, they embraced new challenges and experienced God's presence while embarking on their missions career. This chronicle of discovering how God's mysterious presence works to lead and equip a person to face the challenges of presenting the Gospel in a pagan land while learning how to conform his own life to the teachings of the truth revealed in God's Word.God worked through him to effect change in his personal life while also demonstrating His Divine Presence through the changed lives of former pagan worshipers. The relevance of the lessons learned in that foreign culture are needed in today's life where the values of modern society exert a constant challenge to followers of Christ to ignore the lifestyle explained in God's Word. This is the story of a real family's adventures in moving to a foreign country to share the vital truth of God's presence that is just as relevant to today's Christians living in America.
