This is a story that starts with Cissie Graham Lynch as she takes on a internship with the Children's Heart Project. Cissie is the granddaughter of Billy Graham and daughter of Franklin Graham for those who might wonder who she is. The DVD is done in a documentary type manner and you begin to see the hours of preparation and the huge number of people who are involved in this journey to save three lives. You are presented with the truth that for these three this is their only hope! And there is no guarantee that they will live through surgery. You are able to go into the homes of those in the middle of nowhere; Mongolia and follow them and their mothers all the way through to surgery in San Antonio and hopefully full recovery.
I have heard of Samaritan's Purse and some of the work that they do but this is the first that I had heard of the Children's Heart Project. Just watching this DVD showed what a LABOR of love is involved in just THESE 3 stories. It was heart breaking to hear of so many that are still waiting. When I say LABOR- its to say there is a huge amount of work; with a large network of people involved but its pure love seen expressed. To also watch the host families take them in and love them and help them through what would have to be the hardest time, far from everyone and everything they know; inspiring! Love in action; caring about every area of their life; not leaving out the spiritual truth of Jesus. I enjoyed seeing what I did of Mongolia as well; remote but beautiful . The only reservation I would have in who is watching this; they get into the medical operation part a bit more than I was comfortable with but then I'm squeamishness with that kind of stuff.
I received this book free from the publisher through the Book
