“This book is the story of a church that has begun to experience the transformative change that will happen when you consciously choose to enter a partnership type of relationship with Jesus, and allow Him to use you beyond your wildest dreams.” So says Will James, senior pastor of the Paradise Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church in National City, California. In this book he outlines how members of the Paradise Valley Church are feeding, clothing, and educating Jesus in the form of some of His needy children who are refugees from many parts of the world. Besides providing food, shelter, clothing, English language classes, and a work training program for people who have fled religious and political persecution, helping many to obtain a college education and good jobs that take these people off of government assistance, church members have learned total dependence upon a God who provides for all of their needs at just the right time.

"John B. Mitchell started out with nothing but a saddle and a long rope--long enough to lasso someone else''s cattle.
