A Full Life: The Adventures of a Christian Aid Worker

by Vivien Wilson

Overview

" I have witnessed much suffering in my work as a World Vision aid worker but I have been greatly blessed by seeing wonderful results of peoples' lives being transformed by the love and practical aid they have received.
Each country I have worked in has special memories for me...my time in remote Aboriginal communities of Australia...Ethiopia was a place of wailing and sadness where mass starvation confronted me everyday...Kenya was a contrast of laughter and colour where I spent time with Youth With A Mission getting spiritually recharged...Mozambique was a huge challenge as a health officer of a mind-boggling 40,000 people in 11 villages during civil war...In 1994, after the genocide I worked with World Vision in Rwanda leaving me with a greater understanding of the need for love and forgiveness...Although the country was still at war, Liberia was a place of reaping the fruits of my labour, seeing the health message effectively reach the village level...
As you read the pages of this book be encouraged to step out for God in your own amazing adventure." - Vivien
