    I received this article from a member of our Missions Committee. 

    In it I read about Swedish missionaries, David and Svea Flood. To N’dolera, in present day Democratic Republic of Congo 

    Svea died at age 27 shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Aina. David’s mourning quickly turned to anger towards God and he returned to Sweden. 

    In  A Harvest From a Single Seed, you can read about what happened to Aina, who was renamed, Aggie, by her adoptive parents when she was three. 

    To learn more, you can read the words of Aina herself in the short article, A Story of Eternal Perspective. This is an excerpt from Aggie Hurst’s book-length account in the impossible-to-find, Aggie: The Inspiring Story of A Girl Without A Country.
