Building Hope

What Happens When God Changes Our Plans to Accomplish His

Beschreibung

What if God stepped into the noise of your life and invited you into what seems like a completely impossible undertaking, given the limited resources you have? Would you be willing to say yes? Building Hope is a first person account of Dan Wallrath, a self-described "average Joe" who was preparing to retire when he felt an undeniable pull to help a specific group of heroes, providing them with mortgage-free custom-built homes. Dan shares the God-orchestrated events that led him to start Operation Finally Home (OFH) and gripping stories of new beginnings amidst physical, mental, and financial hardships that war-wounded soldiers and their families face once home from war. With even a small amount of faith, you too can see God work in a mighty way as you seek to serve someone in need. God wants you to say yes--and then stretch out in faith with your unique talents and resources to further his kingdom and build hope around you today.
