Inhalt:

Because my health continued to decline. . . I started bargaining with God. I was not going to die; I would do whatever God's plan was for me if He spared my life. In my mind, I was going to become a nurse and go to Asia. . . Yes, I was going to get better and go to Asia as a nurse! In The Power of Change: A Mennonite Girl's Footprints in Asia, Marcy Ninomiya tells her cross-cultural life story of growing up in a small Mennonite village in Ontario, Canada, and then living in Asia for more than fifty years, first nursing at a Christian run hospital in Vietnam, during the war-where she met her future husband, Akiie-to becoming overseas personnel for humanity development in Japan and Thailand, as well as working with persons with disabilities in Japan, Thailand, and Myanmar-where a unique baking project became the birth of "Marcy's Cookies." With candor, warmth, and a touch of humour, Marcy humbly shares firsthand accounts of what life was like in the places she served and travelled, the events she was impacted by, such as the long and costly Vietnam War, devastating Kobe earthquake, and a tsunami and flooding in Thailand, the inspiring people she met along the way, and her unwavering faith in God and His guidance through it all.
