About this item
"Don't waste your pain," says unlikely missionary Avis Goodhart. She didn't - and neither should you. Despite a background of childhood abuse, dyslexia, and marital infidelity, Avis took her first international mission trip at age fifty. The church, school, and orphanage she later founded in northern Peru, all products of both her pain and her radical obedience to the Lord, have brought thousands of others out of the dust. This compelling story of an ordinary woman who serves God in extraordinary ways will challenge, inspire, and empower you to: * Eliminate excuses from your life * Recognize that in God's kingdom, availability matters more than ability * Allow your pain to produce - not prevent - your obedience * Serve the Lord with the same abandon shown by one unlikely missionary.
