This book includes many true stories and quotes from Pioneers missionaries to illustrate ideas we hear echoed by cross-cultural workers sent out by many organizations to and from countries all over the world. Some quotes have been edited for clarity and length. We have also changed some people's names and refer to regions rather than countries to protect missionaries, local believers, and the communities they serve. Modifying some of the specifics allows us to publicly share stories of God at work in unlikely places. We invite you to join us in celebrating His faithfulness and extending His invitation of blessing to all people.
