Joy in the Desert

Joy in the Desert tells the remarkable story of gospel work in Botswana and the faithfulness of God over more than fifty years. Leaving behind the comforts of home, secure careers, and familiar surroundings, a small group of dedicated Christians moved to an unfamiliar land with a desire to serve God and share the message of Christ.

Set against the backdrop of Botswana’s stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, and welcoming people, this inspiring account traces the growth of the gospel and the transformation of countless lives through its power. Men, women, boys, and girls from diverse backgrounds have come to faith in Christ, providing a lasting testimony to God's grace and blessing.

More than a missionary history, this book is a record of God's work through ordinary believers who sought to follow the pattern and principles of the New Testament church. United by a commitment to the authority of Scripture, they demonstrated that the truths and practices of the early Christians remain relevant and effective today.

Filled with personal stories, challenges, encouragements, and evidence of God's unseen hand at work, Joy in the Desert is an uplifting testimony to the power of the gospel and the faithfulness of God in building His church. While this volume captures only part of the story, it points forward to the day when the full extent of His work will be revealed.
