"A wealthy Irish girl rescuing children in India? An English maid preaching the gospel in China? An American pilot serving missionaries in Ecuador? Christian Heroes" Then & Now chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory. These easy-to-read biographies are perfect for ages 10 to 100! Loren Cunningham (1935- ) was only twenty when he first had the vision of the waves--waves of young people announcing the Good News of Jesus to the whole earth. But in 1955, a great gulf existed between young people and the mission field. Loren's firm belief that nothing is impossible for God took him into every nation on earth as his vision became the reality of Youth With A Mission.
