Produktbeschreibung
This is the inspiring autobiography of a pastor and missionary whose every step was guided by God. The book is sprinkled with photos and is written in an easy conversational style. In it, João Garcia takes us on an intimate journey into his life of faith, from his childhood in Brazil as the son of Spanish immigrants, through his call to ministry and preparation both in Brazil and at Spurgeon's College in London, to his pastoral and teaching ministries back in Brazil before coming to Canada as a Baptist missionary pastor bringing the gospel message to Portuguese-speaking newcomers and helping them find their place in the community and in the church. Whether living through a military revolution or mingling with hippies at Piccadilly Circus, whether finding a life partner or a fulfilling vocation, João Garcia depended on God for direction. Sometimes opportunities came effortlessly, and sometimes there were years of hard work, but always his faith was in God. Throughout the years, in every circumstance, God was at work showing the way, and João Garcia was never alone.
