Böcker av Emilie Margaret Ballard

The Third Verse of the hymn "e;How Firm a Foundation"e; describes the author experiences in Thailand. The challenges the author faced have driven her to pray more and seek the Lord's guidance more earnestly and to realize more and more how God was using them to "e;consume the dross and refine the gold"e; in her life. The author was blessed to have help and guidance in working with the ethnic Karens of Burma, then Thailand, and the Karens living in the USA. God used her to help in Christian Education, Healthcare, Women's Work, in preparation of language lessons, both for those needing to learn the language and for Karens illiterate in their own language.
