What happens when a disillusioned corporate cog trades his spreadsheets for Scripture and heads to one of the world's most troubled regions?
In this candid and compelling memoir, Mike Congrove shares his unlikely journey from soul-crushing corporate meetings to planting churches in South Sudan, a country Foreign Policy magazine dubbed The Most Failed State in the World. With disarming humor and raw honesty, Congrove reveals how God used his flaws and failures to help establish sustainable churches in a region wracked by instability and violence.
Through vivid storytelling and unflinching self-reflection, Congrove recounts the culture shock, daily challenges, and profound moments of connection that defined his ministry. His narrative weaves together harrowing encounters with local militias, breakthrough moments with tribal leaders, and quiet victories of faith that transformed both himself and the communities he served.
Part adventure story, part spiritual journey, and part testament to divine persistence, Eating with God's Fork shows how God works through imperfect vessels to accomplish the impossible. In a region where one local tribe of 350,000 people had exactly one mature Christian, Congrove discovered that through our weaknesses, God's power shines brightest, and authentic faith can thrive in the most unlikely places.
