About this title

Synopsis

One family's quest to bring light to West Africa's darkness After surrendering to missions in Benin, Barbara Singerman and her family found communication to be one step above the Dark Ages. Most people had never seen ice ,and hunters still used crossbows to bring home their evening meal. Why serve in a place where major diseases stalked their lives, where accomplishing basic, daily tasks caused unthinkable fatigue? The answer came in a desperate plea of villagers, "Please, come back and tell us more about Jesus." The salvation of these staunch, voodoo worshiping Africans propelled these American missinaries beyond surrender to bring their adopted people from darkness to light of God's Word
