WILLS POINT, TX – Discover how winter clothing for missionaries enables safe travel, endurance, and faithful service in regions with freezing temperatures.
In GFA worker Kees’ remote village, everyone traveled by foot. With winter upon them, nighttime temperatures dipped below freezing; Kees was ill-equipped to travel in the cold, but he was willing. People needed the warmth of God’s love.
Stumbling Through Tragedy
As a child, Kees had experienced a devastating inner chill. When he was 12, his whole family became seriously ill—his parents, five siblings and himself. With no hospital and no transportation, Kees’ father brought home witch doctors in hope of relief. Instead, things grew worse. Six family members died, leaving only Kees and his father, Gavan.
Sorrow, pain and bitterness flooded their hearts. Traumatized, Gavan took Kees to a foreign land, running away from the inner turmoil. But the ordeal continued to haunt them. Unable to escape, they soon returned to their native land but not to their home village. How could they return to the place that had caused so much pain? Instead, they settled in a neighboring village.
