Give Your Best How Willem Charles Transformed His Haitian Village from Poverty in Voodoo to Prosperity in Christianity (Paperback)

From the Publisher: Some people are able to change the world in important ways. One such person is Willem Charles, the inspirational founder and leader of Haiti's Mountain Top Ministries. In the remarkable Give Your Best, Dr. Andrew DeWitt introduces readers to Willem Charles as he chronicles the astonishing life of an even more astonishing human being. From his difficult childhood and early successes and failures in mission work and business to his work as a translator on CNN and his participation as a player on Haiti's national soccer team, Charles continually shows his dedication to excellence and his determination to build a better life for his countrymen in spite of incredible odds. Charles walks with the author through the Haitian national history museum where he brings to life the country's difficulties from a personal perspective. A dedicated missionary, Charles shows how his calling of delivering the message of Jesus Christ to the people has impacted their lives-and his. By recalling stories from the genesis of MTM, the dedication required to work in the mission field is illuminated, and we are also treated with a new awareness of how transcultural issues affect missionary work. Beautifully written and deeply inspiring, Give Your Best lets you inside the heart and mind of a remarkable person. You'll laugh and cry and be deeply moved, but if you listen to Charles's message and follow his teachings, you'll also be changed.
