While sleeping during a missions conference, David Bredeman awakened to a call for everyone to stand. He jumped to his feet, expecting to be dismissed. To his surprise, well-meaning church members surrounded him and began praying. David soon found himself learning the ropes in Lima, Peru. Whether swashbuckling through the jungle or learning the language, his adventures proved entertaining and often funny. Although a carpenter by trade, David Bredeman brought his curiosity and love of Jesus to Peru in hopes of making an impact. Soon after he arrived for a short-term mission deployment, he fell in love with the country and with one of its daughters. A natural adverturer, he quickily fit in with his mentors who evangelized the tribes on the other side of the Andes. Whether traveling up Amazonian tributaries or hiking through Macchu Piccu, David found a home away from home with some of the least-churched people in the world. Dodging dangers like caimans, panthers and malaria, the whole lifestyle centered around spreading the gospel and enjoying the outdoors. Back in Lima, a young woman awaited and wondered if she and David might have a future together. This is the story of a man who accidentally found his passion and the woman who loved him. 3
