Adventures Under the Mango Tree, Serving Orphans in South Sudan Paperback - 2012

From the publisher

"Lilly and Dennis Klepp have demonstrated what it means to lose their lives and find a new life in serving Jesus Christ in one of the most difficult parts of the world-South Sudan-a country I have visited and worked in for many years. This story will give you a firsthand look into what motivated a young couple to leave their life of ease behind and go to the ends of the earth for the sake of the Gospel. The Klepps' story will touch your heart and I hope motivate you to pray for them as they continue this remarkable ministry in Africa." Franklin Graham President and CEO Samaritan's Purse Adventures Under the Mango Tree, Serving Orphans in South Sudan is an inspiring story of an American couple who sold everything they owned and moved to Sudan, Africa in the midst of a civil war. Their radical obedience is saving lives, bringing education, health care, and the Gospel to orphans, widows and the poor in South Sudan. Join "Mama Lilly" as she shares her adventures eating termites, dealing with bomb attacks, land mines, sickness, discouragement and even death. The story of God's provision and faithfulness will inspire you to believe in the "Big Dreams" God has put in your heart, too! Lillian Klepp grew up in a troubled family in Wisconsin. Married at 18, she was on the road to a self-destructive life when she gave her heart to Jesus in 1980. He changed everything! In 2001, after faithfully serving many years in their local church and raising two sons, Lilly and her husband, Dennis, founded Harvesters Reaching the Nations and moved to South Sudan to serve orphans. All proceeds from the sale of this book support the work of Harvesters Reaching the Nations. www.HRTN.org
