The Young Missionary

David Eller is an American missionary in Venezuela, married to missionary nurse, Christie. Together they rescue homeless children in Caracas. But for David, that isn't enough. The supply of homeless children is endless because of massive poverty and the oppressive policies of the Venezuelan government, led by the Hugo Chavez- like Armando Guzman. In a moment of anger, David publicly rails against the government, unaware that someone dangerous might be listening- a revolutionary looking for recruits. David falls into an unimaginable nightmare of espionage, ending in a desperate, life-or-death gamble to flee the country with his wife and son, with all the resources of a corrupt dictatorship at their heels.

Excerpt from The Young Missionary: Exemplified in the Life of Timothy Tms little volume, though written with a more particular reference to the young, is yet intended for persons of all ages. A crisis has arrived in the history of the church; and unless the apostolic or true missionary spirit can be made to prevail to a greater extent than it now does, fearful results await her. We know, indeed, that she is founded on a rock, and that the gates of hell can never wholly prevail. But we know, at the same time, that she may be subjected to severe, yea, tremendous trials; and may be driven, for a time, into the wilderness.
