"We wait you. Why did you take so long?"--Taryn Hutchison was asked this poignant question after her lecture on democracy to a class in Bucharest, Romania. Communism had just fallen. "We waited 45 years for the Americans to come and set us free. We used to say that even if you were coming in a wheelbarrow, you should be here by now."--The Americans had come at last, but it was to offer a different kind of freedom--freedom that lasts forever.
Inspiring and with humorous moments, We Wait You: Waiting on God in Eastern Europe is an uplifting story of hearts transformed as political systems are rebuilt. Unlike any missionary story you've read before, it is told by a regular person attempting to manage real life--mud and all--in a foreign culture while struggling to wait on God. History will come alive as you journey with Taryn through Romania, Hungary, Albania, and Russia during the decade after the Berlin wall came down, encountering Cold War informants, Russian mafia, and persecuted believers. You will learn to trust God to provide everything you need in order to do whatever He calls you to do, wherever that may be. Questions for reflection or discussion are included at the end of each chapter. Relive the unforgettable drama of the historic events that changed Eastern Europe--against all hope.
