Although Patrick is the most famous person of his age, the real man has been buried in a cloud of myths

“Reema Goode” and her family are Christians working in a closed Middle Eastern country where all of these things are true. Yet they are also firsthand witnesses of a whole new trend that is taking shape in missions to Muslims.

Marxists guerillas, right-wing paramilitary, and the Colombian government each have their own agenda.
