Vivien Wilson begun her journey as a preventative health care nurse working in Aboriginal communities in Queensland. She spent the next eight years working for World Vision in developing countries including Ethiopia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Liberia and Central Australia. Vivien is now a Minister and is the Director of Teen Challenge Centralia, where she mainly works with Indigenous youth caught up in substance abuse.
My first impressions of Vivien Wilson were her absolute unconditional love for people, her dedication to the outback and her faith in God. Serving tribal communities in the isolated dusty back blocks of Australia as a medical worker, counsellor and friend, Vivien's years of faith filled service make for great stories and reading. This book reveals an open window into realities of life from out west of Alice Springs to war torn poverty stricken nations of the world. My prayer is that this book will inspire a new generation of young men and women to take risks and put faith into action like Vivien Wilson. Rescuing young Australians from the curse of drug and substance abuse, helping to rebuild lives of people who have lost everything to the atrocities of war and genocide. Please read this book with expectation that God can use you to bring hope and healing to your world. I am honoured to know Vivien as a friend and co-worker in the call. STEVE GRACE - Australian Gospel Artist Life is about giving not about what we get...Vivien is a lady who has given her life to the service of others and lives this quote. This book encourages us to live a life of value and adventure. This is a great read. KEN DUNCAN OAM - Australian Photographer I have known the author for all her adult life, and find her a very interesting conversationalist. I have had the pleasure of listening to her accounts over many years, and I am sure the results from reading these pages will be a very rewarding exercise. Vivien's work as an aid worker in the health field has been connected with the devastating famine in Ethiopia, the civil war in Mozambique and the recent genocide in Rwanda, to name a few. These stories she relates are true and fascination indeed. In my opinion the result of Vivien's efforts will have long and lasting effects on the populations of the countries in which she has worked.
