Bonnie had ministered to Palestinian refugee women in Sidon. After her death, many other missionaries were kicked out of the country or asked to leave, and the local believers were living in fear.

After my groceries were loaded in the car, I handed her a Spanish Four Laws and pointed out the Da Vinci Code web … Continue reading How Long Will The Door Be Open?
