As daunting as God’s plan can be for our lives, it is important that we step out into the unknown, into the uncharted waters, when God calls our name. That is exactly what happened in the life of the Dawson family. Leaving the confines of a ‘normal’ family existence when the call of God came knocking, the door was opened and they served 25 years of bringing hope, help and healing to the nations.
With Galatians 6:9‘Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up’ burning in their hearts, this book displays that no matter what we encounter, whatever the many challenges and roadblocks along the way, God can put a backbone in us to not give up.
This adventurous story of loving parents’ selfless dedication to Jesus only confirms that when ordinary people listen to the voice of an extraordinary God, miracles happen and thousands of lives get transformed by His supernatural love!
Allow this book to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and become everything you can be for the Lord, as you read ‘Family on Mission.’
