In this episode we meet 'Jacob', who has served in a very poor part of East Africa with his wife and four kids for more than a decade.

The refugees there that they live amongst have suffered terribly from a genocide that has led to the displacement of millions from their homeland. But in the midst of the pain and the trauma, many Muslims there are questioning the faith that they have been brought up in and looking for something else.

We discuss the challenges of living far away from a hospital, when dealing with typhoid, malaria, measles etc. - learning to find beauty amidst the brokenness and how life as a missionary is glorious, but not glamorous.
