‘I hope this book has stirred your heart to give your life unreservedly to the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t hold back. Don’t settle for less than the best. Please choose to be dangerously alive.’ These are the words that close Simon Guillebaud’s book, which combines prayer letters, diary entries and reflections of ten years of ministry in Burundi.
In 1998 Simon prayed: ‘God I’ll do anything, I’ll go anywhere. Just make it clear’. And God did! He called him to serve, particularly among young people, in war-torn Burundi. His life was constantly in danger, but he stayed and God has honoured his faithful, pioneering work.
