107. “… Indeed, it was a painful story. Dimitri spoke quietly of long and heart wrenching seperation. He spoke of sweat, blood, and tears. He talk about sons growing up without their father in the house. He talked about a poor, struggling family enduring great hardship. This is not the kind of inspirational story that we love to celebrate. It was a story of raw, Biblical faith. This was the story of one man who refused to let go of Jesus and refused to stop telling the Good News to his family and neighbors. …” ~ Nik Ripken
