They Called Us Love
Summary of They Called Us Love
April Holden works with the poorest of the poor through Operation Mobilisation’s global outreach programmes. They Called Us Love details April's compassion-fuelled strategies for responding to the human brokenness that occurs when hope is crushed. Effective training programs for community, church, students and crisis care workers have been built around resources that have been successful in similar ministries. Crisis Care Training International is grateful for the opportunity to join hands with April Holden in her vision to continue God’s story of binding up the broken-hearted and setting captives free. Readers will be challenged to join April in embracing this vision.
Equal parts a call to compassion and a challenge to complacency, this book is a remarkable testimony to what God can do when you follow him wholeheartedly.
Despite chronic health problems, she was accepted by a mission, which sent her initially to Egypt. Then she seized the chance to move to one of the toughest, most war-torn countries in North Africa, pioneering homes for street boys traumatized by war or fleeing abuse. In these loving homes, the youngsters could recover and, repeatedly, she saw miracles of provision and protection.
April returned to Britain in 2013, utterly exhausted, but was soon back in action with a new mission, working with Operation Mobilisation from a base in Zambia to train workers helping homeless children.
April Holden has discovered a strength beyond her own.
‘A remarkable testimony to what God can do when you follow him wholeheartedly.’ - Andy Butcher, author of Street Children
