Description

What would we do if our loved one was kidnapped by a local gang and tortured? What if part of our livelihood was stolen and tragedy after tragedy struck close to our home? How do we keep our faith focused on God during suffering?Jennifer Zilly Canales boldly tells the stories of her and her husband Darwin's mission work in Honduras and the many challenges faced from feelings of significance to struggles of faith. Armed with a call to parent the fatherless and a burning desire to see broken lives healed, together they have embarked on an uncommon journey that has taught them countless lessons about life, faith, and loss. Intentionally living without routine luxuries in an area where electricity, water, and internet access are inconsistent, Jennifer and her husband Darwin have decided to put down roots in a beautiful country that has been tragically disfigured by lawlessness and sin. Embark with them on this unique journey transcending race, nationality, and social class, and be challenged to consider a new perspective forged in the trenches.
