Several members of my family (who were foreign missionaries) were sent to an internment camp in China during World War II. This was the same camp where Eric Liddell (yes, the real Olympic sprinter from Chariots of Fire) was sent. Today I'd like to share some stories about that camp and a related story about me and my family in 2015.

Sometimes God works in ways that we don't expect. Toward the beginning of the period where we felt God was calling us to do missions, we felt like He wanted us to go serve in Iran. However, political circumstances outside of our control at the time made that impossible. We ended up serving the Muslims in Indonesia (the most Muslim country in the world) instead. But God wasn't done. Today I'd like to share with you the story of how God used us to reach that very same place in Iran even though we weren't able to physically go there ourselves.

For this week's post, I'm extremely excited to share with you the story of how God took what seemed like a hopeless situation and, despite all odds, blessed us with two children: Davin and Denise. I hope it encourages you that God's plans are not our own, but in reality they are far, far better than anything we could ever imagine. In the face of impossibility, He will make a way if it is truly His will. Duration: 22 minutes and 11 seconds
