Summary

SummaryI’m Brick, a missionary in the Congo when civil war erupted, forcing us to abandon our fledgling Bible college. Waking to gunfire, we faced evacuation with no funds—until a distant church’s $20,000 gift arrived just in time! With a local businessman’s trust, we paid for tickets and escaped to Cameroon. What felt like failure became God’s training for a flash-drive university that now serves 52 countries. 💪🌍🙏

When civil war abruptly ended Brick’s mission in the Congo, it seemed like everything he had worked for was lost. Forced to leave behind the people he had come to serve, he faced uncertainty, questioning what God’s plan could be in the midst of such devastation. But in that moment of despair, something incredible happened—God provided miraculously. A completely unexpected $20,000 arrived just when it was needed most, opening the door to a new and even greater opportunity. What seemed like an ending was actually the beginning of something bigger than Brick had ever imagined.

Instead of limiting his impact to one location, God expanded his vision, leading him to an innovative solution that reached even more people in need. Through unexpected provisions, divine connections, and open doors, Brick witnessed firsthand how God can turn loss into opportunity and use setbacks as a setup for something far greater. His story is a testament to faith, perseverance, and the power of trusting God, even when the path forward seems unclear. It challenges us to consider our own struggles—not as dead ends, but as moments where God may be preparing us for something beyond what we could ask or imagine.

The Unseen Story
Our mission is to share stories that build faith in God's power and presence. Through a diversity of storytellers, we gain further insight into what He is like. ...my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom [using clever rhetoric], but [they were delivered] in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit [operating through me] and of [His] power [stirring the minds of the listeners and persuading them], 5so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom and rhetoric of men, but on the power of God. 1 Cor 2:4-5
