In these troubling times I want you to be encouraged, your faith strengthened, your hope deepened. So I’ve got some good news – news made alive by the Gospel of hope, stories that come from my travels around the globe. As Global Ambassador for the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), I’ve met courageous believers and witnessed the hand of God powerfully ministering to people during their suffering and challenges. These encounters bring me great hope and in reading them, I think it will you too.

I’ve assembled 30 stories, photos and maps for your reading from 30 different countries. Chapters include,

• Turkey – Where Faith Was Almost Snuffed Out
• Kenya – A Canary in a Mineshaft
• Ukraine – Which Road Ahead?
• Palestine – Political Complexity is Not Its Only Story
• Nepal – A View From the Top of the World
