Amid decades of war and political strife in Myanmar one family fights back with their weapon of choice - the Bible.

Three generations of Emmerline's family have been living out their love for God by rescuing children who have been orphaned, abandoned or made destitute by their country's upheaval. Theirs is not merely a story of evading the enemy and surviving, but also one of seeking out the vulnerable and teaching them how to thrive.

Daring to trust God against all the odds, this is the powerful story of one family's sacrifice to provide a home for orphans so that the children of Myanmar could hope for a better future.
