Reader Rating: 7/10

Salaams! Read this book a couple months ago. It is the personal story of David Leatherberry and his wife, Julie, who spent a number of years working among Afghans in both Afghanistan and Pakistan (from 1976 - 1981). Nothing really too exciting, though some interesting stories of building relationships with locals and sharing the Good News with them. In Pakistan both David & Julie worked with thousands of displaced Afghans who lived in the refugee camps near Peshawar.

In 1981 they went to Germany and continued work with the thousands of Afghan refugees who were flowing into that country each year (20,000 by then). Through a series of rather miraculous events, they were given room in a local technical college to hold ESL classes for Afghan refugees and were able to help many of them as they made their transition as refugees to various other countries. All along the way, they were able to share a lot of Truth with their Afghan friends and to see God work in their lives in various ways.
