Because of You, I Lost Everything!: True Stories Told from the Eyes of a Missionary Kid (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798839663510)

Take a journey to West Africa with Jim as a small missionary child, and live the life he did among the locals in a third-world country facing some extraordinary challenges like:

Not knowing if you are eating a bird, a bat, or maybe even a rat.

Having vicious currents sweep you out to sea, not knowing how you will return to shore.

Meat hanging all day in the tropical heat at the open market, covered in so many flies that the meat can not even be seen, is your dinner.

Then there are the snakes, army ants, hippos, and even crocodile encounters.

No running water, no electricity, one-room huts with dirt floors, and no bathrooms...the worst of the worst ...

Yet seeing God move with such power is astonishing!

Understand the making of spiritual giants.

Learn how Jim's parents started 62 churches.

Uncommon Answers to Common Problems - Living with a Vision that's bigger than the troubles.

This book is in the makings of a TV mini-series!
