From Main Street to Managua:
Stories of Volunteer Missionaries
by Carol Anne Eby

 
     The Church of the Nazarene has raised up a mighty army of volunteers to help build the kingdom of God around the world. Known as Mission Corps, these soldiers consist of men and women of all ages who leave home and family, businesses and responsibilities, even rocking chairs and retirement to follow God’s leading.
     The accounts described in this book reflect but a few of these dedicated followers of God. And if you listen closely, perhaps you’ll hear God calling your name to step out into the magnificent adventure of volunteer missions.
