Faithful in Small Things: How God Grew a Ministry from One Home to Serve 104 Nations

Summary

Watch God Turn Adversity to Mission!

In this uplifting true story, follow Joeth Strickland as she overcomes childhood disabilities, endures 19 surgeries after a catastrophic collision with an 18-wheeler … and founds a ministry that today engages hundreds of Christians each year to support missions in 104 countries.

“Satan keeps trying to take me out,” Joeth says, and she keeps persevering. As God grew her resources from a few boxes in the breezeway of her home to a 17,000 square foot warehouse, she learned over and over that “If it’s God’s will, it’s God’s bill.”  She also came to trust that what’s given for God will be needed by God, however odd the gift seems. So a barrel full of deep sea fishing line eventually helped people in Suriname to fish for food and 13 full pallets of neckties yielded tourniquets for the Ukraine war. 

Joeth’s life and ministry have been fueled by miracles: the miracle of overcoming infertility, her miraculous survival of a crash that should have killed her on the spot, the miraculous opportunities she has found to meet needs in hundreds of countries worldwide. She has seen God answer prayers for everything from a needed forklift to the salvation of volunteers. Her resilient response to setbacks keeps her driving toward the prize she sees in Jesus, and she’s ready to jump into any opportunity God places before her. She is firmly committed to global missions as a result of her own history as a child whose parents were led to Christ by missionaries while living overseas. 

You’ll be inspired as you see God work through injury, financial hardship, and the oddest of obstructions as Joeth keeps Crossing All Borders to serve God.
