  This book contains 17 stories from Christians around the world making a difference. It celebrates the 25th anniversary of World Vision UK. World Vision UK is ranked in the top 10 UK charities, the second largest Christian charity in the UK, and is a member of the Disasters Emergency Committee, coordinating responses to major disasters overseas. This book shows how these unsung heores express their Christian faith with practical compassion. Its Foreword is by Adrian Plass. This work is suitable for World Vision supporters (over 120,000 individuals and 20,000 churches); people who enjoy reading biographies; and, those interested in issues relating to the developing world. The stories are from World Vision's unsung heroes, working in some of the most needy parts of our world. Stories from the front line usually produce a guilt-trip. Not this time. The Hands And Feet Of Jesus is a celebration - not a condemnation - of how ordinary people tackle extraordinary challenges. All involved with World Vision, they invite us to join them. They beckon us to take a peek at their work. And rejoice. Follow Irish nurse Sheila as she travels the world looking for the next trouble spot. Mark, fundraising from his wheelchair, wanted to see where his money was going. Join him as he overcomes numerous obstacles to visit the projects he is supporting. Tristan used to stack shelves in a supermarket but now works with World Vision in the area of disaster relief. Read his story as he follows God's call on his life. These are just three of the stories: ordinary people doing extraordinary things for the sake of the poor.
