Laborers of Love

Description

Love makes a person do a lot of things...crazy things some might say. Love is a powerful force. A girl in love follows after the one who has won her heart. She abandons all she has ever known to go where her lover leads. Love takes her down many a road, even to a country thousands of miles away from her hometown. Such a love compels her to leave behind family and friends, a college education, and a chance to make something of herself in this world. But only for good reason. This is a story of a girl in love, but not as you would typically expect. At eighteen years old, Mikahla Stouffer left her home in the United States and moved to another continent in response to the One who has her heart-Jesus Christ. Compelled by His love and with a desire for the gospel to be made known among every nation, tribe, people, and language, Mikahla spent a year in South Africa receiving missionary training while reaching out to the locals with the gospel of Christ. In Laborers of Love, you will join Mikahla on her journey in Africa as she seeks to share Christ's love with orphans and widows, the poor and forgotten, the drug addict and witch doctor. You will laugh with her and maybe even cry with her as she experiences pure joy and utter heartbreak, witnesses redeeming love and sheer desperation, and comes to love a people who outwardly are completely different than her, but inwardly are broken and beautiful just the same. Most of all, you will discover the heart of a Savior-the Savior who came to rescue and redeem the world. But be prepared, because you, too, may fall desperately and deeply in love with Him.
