"THE BLIFFEN FAMILY - A Legacy of Faith" is an account of amazing facts about the lives of Ralph and Aleta Bliffen as they raised their family of nine children in the 1930's to 1950's in Huntington, West Virginia. All nine of their children attended Kentucky Christian College in Grayson, Kentucky and dedicated their lives to serving their Lord in various ministries. Ralph and Aleta's tremendous influence continues today, even in the lives of many of their grandchildren and great grandchildren who have followed the faith of their parents and grandparents, serving God in many special and diverse ministries. The Bliffen influence in spreading the gospel has truly reached world-wide including the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Mexico, Ecuador, Haiti, Grenada, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, Papua New Guinea, Cuba, Russia, Thailand, Burma, and in many locations throughout the United States. Sacrifices and hardships were many, but abundant blessings far outweigh the difficulties.
