‘Never Give Up’ — New Book Encourages Coronavirus-Slammed Americans

With U.S. COVID-19 Death Toll over 80,000, 1.3 Million Sick, 33 Million Jobless, GFA World (Gospel for Asia) Founder Urges Americans ‘Keep Pressing On’

With U.S. COVID-19 death toll over 80,000, 1.3 million sick, 33 million jobless, GFA World (Gospel for Asia) founder urges Americans ‘keep pressing on’ WILLS POINT, TX — Americans slammed by coronavirus deaths, sickness and massive job lay-offs are being encouraged to “never give up” in a new book launched today offering hope amid COVID-19.

Global missionary statesman Dr. K.P. Yohannan, founder and director of Texas-based missions organization Gospel for Asia (GFA, www.gfa.org), recalls how God led him through "the most difficult and loneliest time of my life" in a classic new book titled Never Give Up: The Story of a Broken Man Impacting a Generation.Never Give Up: The Story of a Broken Man Impacting A Generation (www.nevergiveupbook.org) tells the story of a grueling trial that plunged author Dr. K.P. Yohannan — leader of one of America’s biggest faith-based organizations — into depression and to the brink of suicide.

Describing his own personal “forest fire of grief and pain,” 70-year-old Yohannan, founder of Gospel for Asia (GFA World, www.gfa.org), says his faith carried him through “the most difficult and loneliest time of my life” in the revealing new book.

It comes at a desperate and anxious time in America, with more than 80,000 COVID-19-related deaths, 1.3 million sick, and more than 33 million new unemployment claims since mid-March.

‘The Sun Will Rise’

“I am certain you, too, have gone through, or are even now going through, your own overwhelming trial,” said Yohannan, who also authored the mega-bestseller Revolution in World Missions, with more than four million copies in print. “If you are suffering right now, please believe me, the sun will rise. Hold on.”

Yohannan said that, in part, he wrote Never Give Up to “help people find new strength to keep pressing on” in turbulent and distressing times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic — a crisis that has caused America’s worst unemployment since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

“The choice not to give up is mine — and it is also yours,” Yohannan said. “Faith in God’s sovereignty is the light that will guide you through this dark crisis. Even when God does not seem to be listening, when you walk through the forest fire of grief and pain, you will see the invisible one, and he will see you through.”

As COVID-19 continues to sweep across the world, Yohannan urged Americans not to forget the poorest of the poor living in South Asia, where extended lockdowns have fueled spiraling unemployment — with no jobless benefits or stimulus checks — threatening wide-scale starvation.

“The coronavirus itself is a deadly, terrible event, but more people are dying — and will die — of starvation,” said Yohannan, whose organization aims to “bring physical and spiritual hope” to 500,000 of Asia’s poorest slum children.
