Though I Run Through the Valley: A Persecuted Family in Myanmar Rescues Over a Thousand Children

Pamela Johnson

Paperback

Description: 

Daring to trust God against all the odds, this is the powerful story of one family's sacrifice over many years to protect and show the love of Christ to many lost children in Myanmar. Theirs is not a story of merely surviving; it is one of seeking out the vulnerable and teaching them how to thrive.

Amid decades of war and political strife in Myanmar one family fights back with their weapon of choice - the Bible.

At a time of ethnic cleansing and military dictatorship, being a Christian in a predominantly Buddhist Myanmar brought huge risks and danger. Yet despite persecution, one family chose to use the weapon of love to combat evil.

'Though I Run Through the Valley' tells the incredible story of three generations of Karen Christians living out their love for God and each other by rescuing over 1000 children who have been orphaned, abandoned or made destitute by their country's upheaval. Theirs is not a story of merely evading the enemy and surviving, but instead one of seeking out the vulnerable and teaching them how to thrive.

Daring to trust God against all the odds, this is the powerful story of one family's sacrifice over many years to protect and show the love of Christ to many lost children in Myanmar.
