Do you love a good story? God does. He must, because over half of His book, the Bible, is 'storying', a powerful way to communicate.
'We've a Story to Tell' is the exciting account of how this story-loving God intertwined the stories of two distinctly unique people. One was a farm boy from Kansas. The other was a city girl from Chicago. In the life-experience of these two, there were threads of unspeakable tragedy, threads that could have created a tangled mess of bitterness and defeat, had they not been individuals with great confidence in God.
Yow will be mesmerized by how the Master Designer made these two families into one and led them to serve many years in Paraguay, South America. This story reveals how Duane surveyed and searched the jungles of eastern Paraguay for two different tribal groups. It covers his journaling of how he and a missionary contact team established a long-lasting friendship with a savage tribal group in northwestern Paraguay. And how the challenges Mary faced at keeping the home fire burning were at times humorous, while being filled with accidents.
God used them to plant a church in a small Paraguayan town, to help translate the New Testament into the heart language of Paraguay, Guarani, and then to serve in the USA for many years in the training of others to carry out the Great Commission.
May the story they had to tell inspire you to recognize how God is still at work in the story of your life!
Cheryl Stous Ketcham, when 3 years old, went with her parents and five siblings to Paraguay, South America. There she lived until her teen years when her parents moved back to the U.S.A. After marriage she moved back to Paraguay with her husband, where they had two children. They lived in the jungles with the Ayorés (Moros), and as a family were part of that tribal community, learning their language and culture. After 18 years, they moved to Bolivia, South America, where they worked among the same people group for 10 years. With their two children now grown, she and her husband moved back to the U.S.A., continuing their ministry on the teaching staff at NTM's Missionary Training Center. After a career totaling 45 years, she and her husband retired and live close to her aging father, Duane, in Florida.
