Irene, I sent you an email but here are a couple of places where people have shared ideas about the book or experiences using it. I’m not sure how current these resources are, but they contain a lot of uplifting stories.

Also, I’ve reached out to a friend who helped edit the book to see if he knows of anything.

Do you know of any currently interactive group using the principles from the book, The Power of Everyday Missionaries?

Heidi: I don’t know how I found this…I was looking for some words to write to my one 18 year old son as he goes off to college…I have twin boys; however, my other special boy has cerebral palsy (he is such a smart, happy, little boy who gets around in his motorized wheelchair without seemingly a care in the world)…but what you have written so perfectly fits how it is with him. I have cried so many tears as I have re-read your letter to your son over and over. I have been a widow for 13 years and have raised my sons alone since then. Not easy. But I know God has chosen us mothers and He has given us the strength to handle what most people couldn’t do. I so look forward to the day (and I know it will be soon) that we and our children will be with God. God bless you and your child. Thank you so much.

You always put everything into perspective. It’s so easy to get mired down in the details and worries of every day life. WIll he be better today? Happier? More engaged? More “normal?” But it’s so irrelevant when you look back at the day you started with hope, apprehension and sometimes even fear, and see all of the wonder, love and yesabsolutelytrue lessons learned. I am a far better person for having my son in my life. And so is my husband. We aren’t just better parents – we’re kinder, more empathetic people. We bring far more to the world now than we ever could have hoped for six years ago.

Much love to you and your sweet boy!
