Synopsis

Living Parable is an inspirational account of Lowe's life as a messenger of God, conveying his sincere disposition to go into all the world and preach the gospel. This book tells the story of Lowe's passion for God's work, which has led him on an adventure with God, starting with a mission to Liberia, Africa, when he was only thirteen years old. After being a missionary in Liberia for several years, Lowe married his wife Andrea in 1994, who joined him on the mission field a year later with their four-month-old son, to minister to the Liberian nation in the middle of a civil war. For several years, he and his family worked diligently to bring peace to the hearts of men in the midst of such turmoil and strife. Threatened with war, ambush, disease and hunger, Lowe and his family began to see the fruit of planting seventeen churches. These churches co-labored with his desire to minister to the children who were fighting in the civil war. Working in conjunction with the local church, Lowe opened seven rehabilitation homes known as Joseph's Brethren. These homes ministered to over 1,500 child soldiers (ages 5-18) by taking them out of combat, showing them the love of Christ through a well-structured, six-week ministry and placing them in foster homes until their biological families could be found.

About the Author

Chet Lowe was born on September 1, 1970. At the age of seven, Chet began his first ministry a Vacation Bible School for the neighborhood children right in his parent's garage. Having grown up in a Christian home, he watched and learned the foundational truths of practical Christianity from his mother and father, Ira and Pam Lowe. Chet had two siblings growing up: Susan and Matthew. Matthew died in 2011 at the age of 33. He was a naval aviator and his plane went down. At thirteen, feeling God's call on his life, Chet joined a team of teenagers who traveled to South Korea to build a church. A year later, a new journey took him to Liberia in West Africa to build a schoolhouse. These trips solidified in his mind his desire to serve the Lord no matter the calling or the place. For a boy born on an island of Nassau, Bahamas, that is only 7×21 miles, he was ready to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
