Missionary tales were favorites of mine when I was young, but I stopped reading them as I grew up and sensed God calling me to put down roots and serve my neighbors. Reading this astonishing and beautiful testimony of God’s work in the world, I saw with new eyes the value of my own small yes. When we say yes to God, even in small things, our hearts and then our communities can be transformed to an extent we might never have imagined. The Yes Effect revealed my own place in a much larger story of God’s goodness and faithfulness and inspired me to go on, every day, saying yes.
