Description

A young woman, raised in a wealthy family, sets off alone into a primitive jungle culture because she feels that God has called her to evangelise the people.

Raised in wealth and privilege in Southern California, the last thing Sharon Porterfield ever expected was to become a Christian missionary in the hostile, unforgiving jungles of Southeast Asia. Seemingly against her will, she was strongly compelled to visit Burma and the Karen people who live there. She gave in and went. The country was hot, humid, and alive with scorpions and malaria-infected mosquitoes, and the Burmese Army was always a threat, periodically launching genocidal attacks against the Karen.

The most basic of creature comforts, like indoor toilets and easy access to food, were absent. Despite all this, Sharon fell in love with the Karen people and knew this was going to be her life's work, because God Sent Me.
