Faith Through Fire is the memoir of Gary Bennett, an American missionary who's lived in Rwanda for 22 years. His brother co-authored the book with him. I've been so blessed by Gary and his wife, Barb and thier ministry. Barb teaches music at KICS, and has also started a children's choir in her neighborhood and church. I love listening to their story of how they met and how God brought them together. Barb was a single missionary in Japan, and Gary was a recently widowed missionary with two young daughters living in Rwanda. They met through the E-Harmony website, and the rest is history. Gary and Barb have a deep love for God, and this country, and it shows in everything they do!
This book is highly inspirational, and you will not be able to put it down. Gary and Barb still live in the house they did 22 years ago, now riddled with bullet holes, from the effects of the genocide in 1994. This is a fascinating read of one man's faith through fire.
Here's the book description on Amazon:
Faith Through Fire is the inspirational story of people
living out the faith that Christians profess, under some of the most difficult
conditions imaginable.
It is the true story of the main protaganist's experiences living out his faith before, during, and after the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda. It is a compelling story that is beautifully told.
If you are looking for inspiration or a way to challenge your faith then this story is a must read!
The story is also about his Rwanda team during one of the most intensive killing campaigns in the history of the world! These are real people who, because of their love and understanding of who God is, acted decisively and heroically, with actions that saved lives. After the Genocide they went back. At great price they went back. Even after the death of his beloved wife, my brother still went back...
The world is in need of real stories of seemingly insignificant people from what seem like insignificant places who do extraordinary things by the power of faith in an extraordinary God. If you're not a person of faith, the story alone will grab you. If you are, you will be encouraged to stand strong even when things do not go the way you thought they should.
