This book contains the story of the Rev. Carolyn Beshe with a focus on her efforts to minister to the orphaned children of Mozambique. Carolyn was appointed to serve the people of Mozambique as they were recovering from the wars to end the 500 year colonial Portuguese domination and civil strife. It illustrates the ways in which the Western Churches are now working with the resilient African churches as they continue to minister to those who have been the most affected by centuries of colonial exploitation. Rev. Belshe's story is important for many reasons. It illustrates how orphans are made in body, mind and spirit in the homeland of the oppressor and the oppressed. It makes connections that links the Patriarchal oppression of women and persons of Color in both the Western and First world contexts. It shows how the power of love overcomes evil. It should be of interest to church leaders, lay persons, theologians and social scientists alike. Carolyn is now in Hospice and as she nears the end of her bodily existence she hopes and prays that her story will contribute to the world's caring for the orphans she so deeply cares for in Mozambique and throughout the world,
