It required him to be by turns an evangelist, a professor, a first responder, a church planter, a chief executive, a writer, a development worker, a peacemaker, an advocate, and a spy! It took him into the suffering caused by the major man-made and natural disasters of our time—in the Vietnam War, the Cambodian and the Rwanda genocides, the African famines, the Great Asian Tsunami. There he partnered with the compassionate God in lifting up the destitute, the downtrodden and the persecuted, making their way “as best they could on the cruel edges of the world” (Heb. 11: 38 The Message). These experiences led him to reflect deeply on human evil and human suffering, alongside the goodness and mercy of God.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Reg Reimer (Reginald Reimer)</note> <subject> <topic>Christianity -- Missions -- Asia</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Disaster relief</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Autobiography</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity -- God's healing</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">280.4092</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R363-R33</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9798335923330</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15732/o.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15732/o.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071520.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
