Jars of Clay

Out of the generation that grew up in the Great Depression and World War II thousands of young Christians felt called by God to the ends of the earth. Pauline A. Brown with her husband Ralph and two other families went to the Sindh Province in southern Pakistan in 1954 -- their goal to share God''s message love with Muslim Sindhis. This book is not just about North Americans abroad but about a fellowship of ordinary people crossing cultural and linguistic barriers to take on the extraordinary challenge of establishing the Church in the Sindh desert. Jars of Clay is a story of laughter and tears of danger and deliverance of despair and hope of victory and defeat. Above all it is a story of perseverance in the face of great odds. The story of how the Church of Jesus Christ small and fragile as it is is taking root in the barren desert soil of Sindh in Pakistan an Islamic Republic is relevant more than ever in our post 9/11 world.
