In both life and ministry it is very easy to let discouragement and circumstances beat you. We must make a daily choice to get the victory that Christ gives to each of us. We don't have to just survive our life, our marriage, or our ministry. We can THRIVE because He helps us overcome the greatest battles! I have learned through learning a language, planting churches, and training national leadership that life isn't always going to go the way we plan, but we can, with the Lord's help, not only survive the darkest days, but also THRIVE in them. I pray that this book will be a source of encouragement and that you will begin to thrive in the life that God has given you, whatever and wherever that may be.
