520	3		_aThis is the story about how God, by His grace, prepared and used a man with limited abilities who was an early failure to become an effective mentor of leaders and an innovative, strategic thinker. Working with like-minded, gifted teammates, both national and foreign, his memoir tells of cutting-edge approaches for the ministry of the gospel in the Haitian religious, economic, and political contexts. This autobiography also includes its share of adventures and God's deliverances. The way God opened so many doors of opportunity only He could have arranged astounded the author. As a result, his ministry extended from thatched-roof rural houses with dirt floors to the presidential palace. Ed Walker's ministry took on dimensions that he never imagined in his wildest dreams extending even into his retirement years.
