In nearly three decades of missionary work, Julia has bumped into some truly amazing and inspiring Christians, literally from the ends of the earth. Their breathtaking lives and testimonies have always captured heaven's attention, and now they can take you on an amazing ride of faith and endurance. These aren't your typical muscle-flexing, red-tight-wearing spiritual superstars. Neither have these victory winners ever walked a red carpet or spent an evening being wined and dined by the political elite. These heroes, in some of the least privileged nations of the world, are made of a less ostentatious, more humble metal--one that shines more brightly than gold in the eyes of their Maker. Paolo, Selida, Losha, Tome, and Vengai are just a few of the awesome heroes from these inspiring stories. They are some of the precious gems, that Julia has unearthed when she gave up her all to follow the Lord into strange and difficult lands. The life journeys of the heroes in this book also help make our God even more famous today, by highlighting His unending power, mercy, faithfulness, and love.
