Struck by cancer twice, shattered by his wife's death, his family rocked by a murder; any one of these could be enough to overwhelm a person. But there is more. Giving up his dream of becoming a top stud dairy farmer in Australia, Graham's incredible journey takes him to Africa and 18 years in Ghana. Returning to various leadership responsibilities in Australia and East Timor, he continues with roles that include international responsibility. He shares his stories of military coups, cobras in the bedroom, an operation without anesthetic, cupboards lacking food, and brushes with Klashnikovs and revolutionaries. All this with no salary, minimum promised support, and a policy of only making his needs known to God leads to an exciting journey of faith and dependence upon God. There are times when Graham is out of his depth and more aware of his feelings of inadequacy than of God's ability to make a way through; times of disappointment and uncertainty and the challenges of cross cultural living. Through all of these he comes to understand that every problem is an opportunity for God to show His greatness in amazing answers to prayer. It is inspiring to see God at work today in the life and ministry of an ordinary man and reinforces the fact that God's promises are available to every one of us.
