Ambassadors for Christ/Distinguished Representatives of the Message Throughout the World 1994

Plot

"God commissions us to be Thessalonian Christians, proclaiming His peace throught Christ." In that role we are called to be active participants-ambassadors for Christ. Within these pages you will read the fascinating stories of less-than-perfect Christians who overcame life's hardships and disappointments to bring God's message of reconciliation to their hopeless, turbulent world. For instance, did you know that: Josh McDowell, pastor, author, and speaker, stuttered as a child; Edith Schaeffer, missionary and author, along with her four children, were once driven from their home for having a religious influence in their village; Steve Green, contemporary recording artist, was rebellious and hard-hearted as a teenager; Mary Bethune, educator, felt God calling her to a ministry in Aftrica but was turned down by her mission board. Even in her final days, the drums of Africa haunted her. Through the lives of these ordinary believers you'll find that God seldom recruits perfect people to be His ambassadors. Instead, He often uses 'damaged' individuals who are simply available to serve Him. These cameos of believers will inspire you to discover your own role in representing Christ's message of goodwill in your community"--Jacket.
