| Publisher Description: A mission is full of spiritual highs, discouraging lows, and moments when you can't help but laugh out loud. From doctrinal misunderstandings and language barriers to encounters with wild animals and love-struck investigators, this collection of hilarious true stories celebrates the lighthearted side of missionary work. Each anecdote testifies that while God takes His work seriously, He isn't above brightening His servants' day with a little humor. |
