Parables of PIGS: Biographies and Reflections of a Modern Missionary - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Anyone can hear the call. At any time.
Do you have the “right” qualifications to serve as a missionary? How do you know you’re hearing “the call”, anyway? In this collection of missionary biographies and modern-day parables, you’ll learn that your skills, experience, and past don’t really matter – only your obedience to a God who knows exactly how, when, and where He can use you to pour out His love to hungry souls.
• A young marriage destroyed by military service. A man given over to drugs and alcohol, taunted by the Enemy and rescued by a forgotten Savior. Restored to life and love, then called to serve. Portrait of a Walk in Faith.
• A childhood lost to violence, innocence ripped away. Transformed from cutting her body to sharing God’s inestimable love with fatherless children around the world. Portrait of a Broken Heart.
• Two financially disastrous injuries. On the verge of losing their home. Surely God was calling the wrong family at the wrong time to help build an orphanage. Portrait of a Builder.
The path to missions isn’t what you imagine.
“The stories that Jackie has written and collected will make you smile, cause you to reflect, and hopefully inspire you to find your place in God’s story. Through them, Jackie encourages us to play an active role in the divine narrative of bringing glory to God among the nations. Her modern-day parables illustrate how our own lives can be interwoven with the grander story of God’s love and pursuit of His creation.”
--Omar Garcia, Missions Pastor at Kingsland Baptist Church, Katy, TX
