Many of our friends had warned us, saying it was too dangerous to enter Afghanistan, but we knew that if we were not prepared to go to a country for which we were recruiting collaborators, we would lose all credibility.
Steve Goode and Marie Bentley, from Tennessee, high school sweethearts, could never have imagined all they would discover over the decades of their service to the poor and oppressed. Never shying away from God's call, they worked in refugee camps and areas
of war, and experienced difficult times of illness and struggle. As long-term leaders of YWAM's compassion ministries and anti-human trafficking commitments in Southeast Asia and beyond, Steve and Marie have brought healing and hope to thousands of people and continue to inspire others to do the same.
"The path the Goodes take us on in this book is thrilling. Their practical blend of justice and spirituality leads them to Afghanistan, Thailand, India, Africa, and thousands of other destinations. Readers should be prepared to have their hearts broken and their spirits uplifted at the same time."
