"Without the children, there would be no Home, so our story is their story." Having grown up in a good Christian home and having taught for several years in Christian schools, Sally Sanders longed to enter the missions field and teach in Mexico. An unexpected opportunity came up, instead, in Costa Rica, and even though she went with uncertainty in her heart, she would soon discover that God knows where He can use His children best and she would end up exactly where she needed to be. It was in Costa Rica when she first saw children living in terrible conditions on the verge of starving to death. It was in Costa Rica when she prayed for the opportunity to provide a home for neglected and/or abandoned children. It was in Costa Rica when she was able to take in a few children into her own home and provide for them. And it was in Costa Rica when she was finally given the opportunity to open a large home where children could live and learn. Sowing Priceless Seeds: Treasured Joys and TEARS of the LIGHTHOUSE is the incredible true story of Sally's missionary work spanning more than thirty-five years of living and working daily with over ninety children in the Lighthouse Children's Home in Costa Rica. This vivid collection of extraordinary experiences, both funny and sad, share the stories of not just Sally, but also of each individual child, their strengths, weaknesses, little quirks, struggles, and victories, and the way God worked in lives through them. These treasured stories show first-hand how sowing the priceless seed of the Word of God can change lives, regardless of where one comes from. Let them inspire anyone to give their lives to Christ and allow Him to use them for His glory.
