Yahweh

Within these pages are stories of people around the world who have been touched by the love of God through the service of Judy and Lynn Everswick. Called to serve when she was just 16, Judy has always lived with God's purpose in mind. Now she has compiled her favorite stories of serving from her thousands of letters home. From small villages in Zimbabwe to the jungles of the Amazon, and everywhere in between, Judy tells wonderful stories of love and triumph from a lifetime of going wherever God called. You'll love her wit and humor as she deals with snakes in Africa, a detached retina in China, food poisoning in Cambodia, and meets the woman who inspired her interest in missions, Dayuma, in Ecuador. You'll be warmed by her stories of compassion and changed lives, you will be encouraged by tales of bravery, you'll fall in love with the people she met, and you'll be amazed at the details God always worked out for good.

Hearing about believers on the other side of the world who have the same love and devotion to the Father as I do is like learning about a long-lost sister or brother you didn't know you had.

It is amazing how this connection as family overrides all differences of culture and ethnicity, and how a genuine love can be born, one that can only come from the bond of brotherhood. Debbie Deline

As a result to this day I am able to support them through prayer, time, and I am thankful for the impact that ministry made on my life. Sara Rogers

In anticipation of my first mission trip, I can remember thinking that my main purpose or goal was to go and serve those who found themselves in situations less fortunate than I, which on some level might not have been totally incorrect, but God had so much more! I hope those with whom I interacted did feel loved and served, but, without a doubt, I was the one being welcomed and loved with humble hospitality, blessed beyond measure by seeing faith that seemed to know no bounds, and seeing joy in the Lord demonstr...
