Unwavering Belief - When Faith Becomes a Calling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798235639065)

Chris and Heather met on an abandoned mission camp in Puerto Rico - two strangers from two different churches, drawn to the same ruined place for reasons neither of them could fully explain. By the end of the summer they knew two things: they were called to give their lives to missions, and they were called to do it together.

Then they discovered what that calling would cost.

Before they could set foot on the field as full-time workers, they had to raise their own support. Every dollar. One hundred percent. A budget larger than either of them imagined, funded one partner at a time, over eighteen months of phone calls, coffee meetings, rejection, and quiet persistence.

Heather treats it like a job - a spreadsheet, a schedule, a list of two hundred names. Chris can't work that way. He shakes every hand at church and turns every conversation into an invitation. She has the plan. He has the people. Neither of them can reach the field without the other.

Unwavering Belief: When Faith Becomes a Calling is the story of the road most people never see - the long, hard, faithful work between a calling and the field. It follows two very different people through fear and doubt and the temptation to quit, toward a discovery that changes how they understand everything they went through.

The asking was never really about the money.
