Johanna in the Valley of DecisionXulon Press, 2007 - 124 من الصفحات Johanna is a typical teenage girl growing up in the heartland of America, in a "Christian" home. She is evangelized by her dynamic Christian friend, Kelly, who is planning on going on a short-term mission trip to Haiti. Johanna visits Kelly's church, and decides to sponsor a girl named Yolène in Haiti. In the meantime Yolène has been on the waiting list for months to be sponsored, so she can go to school near her small village in North Central Haiti. The book follows the lives of both girls and their families in their very different cultures and lifestyles, and points out the similarities and differences, and concludes that each of the girls and their families have many common basic needs: food, shelter, education, love and a need to know the Lord through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Robert Dubois is an engineer born and raised in New England. Robert has made over 20 short-term trips to Haiti, including 10 months in the rural provinces. He and his wife and three children live in South Florida, where they attend Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale and are active in the Children's Ministry. Robert has been extensively involved in child sponsorship programs for several large missions organizations, and he and his wife have personally sponsored over a dozen children in Haiti with World Vision, Compassion International, New Missions and Bethanie Missions. He and his wife Marie are writing the Johanna series to raise awareness for the need for child sponsorship in Haiti and other underdeveloped countries, as they believe that the hope for these countries rests with the youth, who can be reached with the Gospel and educated, and eventually impact their native lands for Christ. |
