When Grace Showed Up: One Couple's Story of Hope and Healing among the Poor
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Tich was a South African sports star who lost it all to
alcohol. Joan had recently lost her husband. Their lives were at
rock bottom when grace showed up and inspired these two middle
class South Africans to move past the racial prejudices of the
Apartheid era and launch a ministry together.
The result was Lungisisa Indlela village (LIV), the legendary residential facility that rescues children, restores lives, and raises young leaders in South Africa. This is the story of transformed lives—both theirs and the orphans—as a country begins to embrace grace and love others as Christ loves the church.
