For Wayne and Ruth Ann Stelfox, the war-torn city of Monrovia, Liberia, was a drastic change from rural Alberta, Canada. But they and their five children accepted the challenge of a two-year mission assignment in West Africa - and found themselves immersed in a world of starving children, extreme poverty, disease, human sacrifice, witchcraft, and violence.

In the midst of this darkness, they found joy, love, lasting friendships, and hearts open to the light of God's love. They saw beauty in the scarred landscape around them, and the tears of heaven in the torrential African rains. As they worked to help change the lives of those around them, their own lives were changed, and the miracles they witnessed increased their awe of the God they had gone to Africa to serve.

In Tears of the Rain, Ruth Ann tells the heart-wrenching story of those two years, and of the lives that were touched and changed, including her own. Ruth Ann allowed her heart to be captured by the Liberians, and she opens her heart - and theirs - to us in this stirring, true story. (Some details may not be appropriate for children.)

About the Author

Ruth Ann Stelfox lives in Raymond, Alberta, Canada with her husband, Wayne, and three of their five children. Will and Larry work with Wayne building garden sheds for their new family business. Charlotte and Ruth Ann run an in-home daycare, where they care for several preschoolers. The Stelfoxes live on a small farm on the prairie, forty-five minutes from the magnificent Rocky Mountains and forty miles(as the crow flies) from the Montana border. They raise miniature appaloosa horses and keep a flock of eighty laying hens. They are members of Western Plains Mennonite Church. Ruth Ann has had many articles and poems published and is a field editor for Taste of Home magazine. This is her first book.
