We hope soon to be able to offer this book more widely.

This book is about how remarkable people of the mid-1900s came to Christ, were discipled by Navigators and, obedient to the call of God, left their language and culture to bring the gospel and the Navigator vision of spiritual reproduction to Asia, where they lived for many years.

Sandy Fairservice, a professional writer and author, and a Navigator, criss-crossed Asia and North America, staying with the pioneers, observing them and interviewing them extensively for this book. The ten chapters, written with the full and willing co-operation of these people of conviction, chronicle individual journeys, with their joys and pains.

When you have read the pioneers' stories, you will want to add their names to those we call great.
