“Is God real? Why does He seem so distant? Have I believed in a lie all my life?”
Such questions shake Jea’s faith, but lead her to do the very thing that needs faith: To spend a year in missions, just as she promised God.
Stepping out into the unknown, she leaves a comfortable life of sipping lattes in Singapore, picks up a lathi (wooden staff) in Nepal, and goes on an adventure that will teach her to depend fully on God. There, she will live through the country’s biggest earthquake in 80 years, survive arduous 48-hour bus rides, and discover what it’s like to trek to remote villages to share the Gospel.
Journey with Jea as she shares her joys and pains of her time in Nepal, her discovery of new perspectives and insights about life and faith, and the answers to her questions about God.
Word from the Author: We all have stories to tell. Stories about God's faithfulness in our lives. Stories about our journey of faith. Some stories disappear with us in our graves. Some stories remain. Through this book, my desire is to leave behind a story for the generations to come. A story to testify of an unshakeable God and what He can do with a life surrendered to Him. It is an offering to the One who gave it all to save one such as I. May you be blessed as you read the book.
Read this book in a day, enjoyed it completely! I just cannot help but to be amazed at her life story in Nepal for that 1.5years stint & her encounter when the most devastating earthquake in Nepal happened. Can only imagine how frightening it would be considering where she would never knew what natural disaster means given where she comes from! This book encourages my heart & faith, such a gem!
Absolutely inspiring! I enjoyed the photos included in the book. It's always humbling to learn about another's faith journey and how blessed we are in our daily lives. Having electricity, a comfortable bed, a roof over our heads - things we often take for granted. Perhaps one day, I would like Jea, have the courage to step out of my comfort zone and share His word to our fellow brothers and sisters.
