許德理姑娘生平介紹

“Come and see what God has done.

How awesome His works in man’s behalf”

~Ps. 66:5

Here’s an amazing story--amazing because it is HIS story. It is Doris Ekblad-Olson’s testimony to God’s faithfulness, humor, incredible guidance, protection and loving care, evident whether in America, Canada, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Australia, Mongolia, Malaysia, Panama, India, or Russia. God proves Himself full of surprises.

As this book illustrates, God still searches among His children for those available to share His heart by prayer or simple service. He will turn that into an eternal chain reaction which, if only we could see it, would blow our minds. This book gives us a rare opportunity to connect the dots, leaving us in stunned amazement! God STILL uses AVAILABLE vessels. ANY bush will do.
