Come Abide: Con-solatio, A Ministry of Presence (Paperback) by the Con-solatio Missionaries and edited by Anna Flournoy
Since 2005, Con-solatio has provided young adults with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve as volunteer missionaries in some of the world's most difficult locations, as well as devote a year to a friendship ministry to those whose hearts have been worn out by loneliness and sadness.
Come Abide edited by Anna Flournoy includes samples from hundreds of raw and soothing letters written by Con-solatio volunteers. The healing power of a simple presence is demonstrated in these actual stories of life-changing partnerships.
