Working in Foreign Countries
Power to Cope Working in Foreign Countries – Lynn was a young widow, determined that her children would grow up with an education and a future that would only be possible if funds were available for that purpose. So, leaving her young ones in the care of her mother, she began applying for positions as a governess. Quickly she found opportunities to earn good money in what was promised to be excellent working conditions in other lands—Middle Eastern countries quite a distance from her home. The sacrifice was arranged, but the promised recompense included being treated almost as a slave, and seemed to require her to forget any standard of morality. Her conversation includes some narrow escapes that she knows was only because of God’s deliverance!
Then, completing the program, a conversation that took place long ago with John (Juaquim) Canario from Angola demonstrates one man’s confidence in God—who had delivered him from wartime danger and carried him through adjustments in this country where the language was entirely foreign to him. Once again his trust in God’s gift of Power to Cope carried him through amazing difficulties. This was a delightful conversation that ended happily as this man’s experience in this country eventually created a niche for him and his family that proved of great blessing not only to him but everyone who has been fortunate enough to know him!
