This book tells the story of J.O. Fraser, a missionary who went one hundred years ago to the Lisu tribespeople in the mountains of Yunnan, south-western China. When he went there were no believers amongst them, far less a church. Fraser learnt the power of witness to them and of persistent prayer in breaking through Satan’s strongholds. The Lisu today have the highest percentage, pro rata, of any minority people in China. A missionary must!
The amazing life of Isobel Kuhn, a missionary who served in China.
Isobel Kuhn gave up a life of comfort to serve God among the Lisu people in a mountainous region of China. Her struggle and search for God shows one the deepest truths there is, that is whether you have, or have not, believed in God already, as long as you want to know him and search him with your spirit, he will prove himself to you. This is a heart-warming read of how God transformed one woman's life forever that will inspire all those who are searching for God.
When Stephen Mansfield asked Derek Prince what was the most important truth he had learned about life, Derek answered, "God is faithful. He keeps His word. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. I cannot emphasize this enough. It is the greatest truth of my life: God is faithful." This biography stirs your faith as you discover Prince's biblical wisdom and insight as well as his legacy as a father, prophet, teacher, and leader. As you read the story of Derek's truly remarkable life and ministry - which has led to an international organization providing Bible teaching in more than sixty languages, reaching six continents, every time zone and 120 nations - you will marvel at God's faithfulness and the truth of Derek's words. In the same way God used Derek's life, be inspired by this book and allow God to use your surrendered life to draw more meaning and purpose from it than you can possibly imagine.
