About the Author

Dawn didn’t consider herself missionary material because of her quiet personality. However, as she put her faith in God, she felt called by Him to go overseas. She became a missionary nurse in Vietnam during the war and felt challenged by the martyred death of her friends. After Vietnam’s fall to the Communists in 1975, she transferred to Borneo and taught in a Seminary for seven years. Her next adventure led her to Penang, Malaysia where she served as the school nurse for missionaries’ children. Following that, she lived ten years in the Philippine Islands, learned the Tboli dialect, supervised the translation of the Jesus Film from English to Tboli and did other projects. She knows this was possible because of the faithfulness of God, her family and dedicated supporters in the U. S.
