The Harvest
The moment that changed them. The person they will never forget. Told by the people who were waiting at home.
This month’s story
Cooper W. · Côte d'Ivoire Abidjan West Mission
Our son nearly came home in his eighth week. Not dramatically. Nobody was called. He worked out, quietly and reasonably, sitting in a chapel in Côte d'Ivoire with malaria in him — and, the mission nurse suspected, dengue fever on top of it — that he had a plausible reason to be reassigned and that he could take it.
No account, nothing to buy. A few minutes, up to six photographs, and a story that would otherwise only ever be told at your own kitchen table.

If you would rather it were not here, write to support@missionarylegacy.com and we will take it down. You do not need an account, and you do not need to give a reason. The family who submitted it told us it was theirs to tell, and if you disagree, you win.
