What does it mean to surrender everything for the kingdom of God? Throughout their family's story, their call to ministry, and their missionary work with the Church of the Nazarene in West Africa, Mark and Linda Louw have been challenged to count their accomplishments, identities, and very lives as loss for the sake of Christ. As they tell their story of sacrifice, they invite their fellow Christians to share their renewed perspective on loss and gain in the kingdom of God.
