Trained as a midwife, Chrissie Chapman went to Burundi in the nineties to open a maternity clinic and dispensary in a rural area of the country. She had been there just three years when a coup was declared, and the country descended into a state of civil war. It lasted for thirteen long years. During that time, God directed her to work with the orphans and widows. She started a centre for abandoned babies and traumatised children and saw the Lord performing remarkable miracles in the lives of people who had lost everything. Chrissie adopted three children herself, and has raised more than fifty others to young adulthood. Again and again she has witnessed miracles of protection and provision. When the war started, Chrissie, her adopted children, and the health staff were living in a rural location on top of a mountain, in a healing centre, with maternity clinic and dispensary. Every night there was gunfire, and every day people would come seeking refuge. One night, she and David Ndarahutse, the mission director, were sitting praying amid the fighting, when David said, 'Chrissie, look up.' There were dozens of angels standing on top of the walls of the healing centre. That was the night the angels came. 'From that moment on,' Chrissie records, 'I have never experienced or felt fear for my life.' Today Chrissie divides her time between Burundi, where she continues to care for the teenagers in her charge, and England, Canada and America, where she speaks widely about the faithfulness and power of God.

Writing with clarity and refreshing honesty, Chrissie shares her story—from a midwife in the mountains of Burundi, to a mother of abandoned children in a city at war. The stories she tells of God’s hand at work are awe-inspiring and make me want to follow the Lord even more closely. I love it when a book does that to me! Some of her stories made me cry; the plights of some of those dear children were distressing, to say the least.
But overall, this was an encouraging read, and it made me remember again what a great God we serve, and how much hope we have. Even if things don’t turn out the way we ask for, He is still God, and He is still good.
If you enjoy true stories of people serving the Lord and seeing Him work in their lives, I’d recommend this book to you. ( )
