Waymaker: Touched by an uncommon God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798868507373)

Five decades in missions afforded opportunities to work with a wide variety of people in 40 countries. These people were from all walks of life. They included students, professors, emerging business leaders, teachers and government officials.

Through challenging experiences and many times great need we found that the common thread was an uncommon God. He delighted in giving us victories, especially when we saw no way forward.

Often, I was at wits end. Resources were depleted. I saw no way forward. Yet, God showed up and made a way. This book is a collection of stories describing how God has truly been the waymaker, promise keeper, miracle worker and light in the darkness for me. He wants to be the same for you.
