All pebbles are unique. No two are alike. Some are big; some are small. Just as each of us, we are unique. As we walk through life, the pond sends ripples out to the world when the pebbles are tossed into the water. Some make beautiful ripples; others just drop into the pond. May these stories encourage you and help you handle the pebbles in your life as you walk through this world with joy and anticipation, knowing that God has a plan for you and will make a way for you if you will let him.

Pasar tiempo en muchos diferentes países alrededor del mundo, estar al lado de misioneros en la frente de la batalla para Cristo. Cavar zanjas, pintar paredes, enseñar a niños, amar a todos para Jesús. Estas historias te darán una vislumbre de como cualquier persona a cualquier edad pueda ayudar a otros de muchas formas para compartir el Evangelio de Jesucristo en todo el mundo. Se trata de comunicar a las personas que Dios les ama. Siempre lo ha hecho y siempre lo hará.

After writing our first two books (Never Too Old to Serve the Lord [ISBN 978-1-5434-4175-8] and Still Never Too Old to Serve the Lord [ISBN 978-1-5434-6437-5]), we thought that you would be interested in knowing how we prepared for our life as missionaries to people around the world. Within this book, you will read about the joy, sorrow, struggles, and blessings that we experienced through our preparation years prior to our first mission trip in 1993. We want to share these milestones that prepared us for desiring mission work the rest of our lives.
