Jackie (and all the people she worked with) lived in such different conditions -- filth, lack of access to sanitation, 10+ people sleeping in a small room, etc. Jackie presents it all in this book, the good and the bad, and at the end all I seem to be able to say is: GOD IS SO GOOD.

For a single woman to leave her land just by faith to a land unknown like Abraham and start a ministry, just fills your heart with joy.
