A Full Life: the Adventures of a Christian Aid Worker Vivian Wilson

"I have come that they may have life and have it to the full" - Jesus (John 10:10) I have witnessed much suffering in my work as a World Vision aid worker but I have been greatly blessed by seeing wonderful results of people?s lives being transformed by the love and practical aid they have received. Each country I have worked in has special memories for me including my time in remote Aboriginal communities of Australia. Ethiopia was a place of wailing and sadness where mass starvation confronted me everyday. Kenya was a contrast of laughter and colour where I spent 3.5 years with Youth With A Mission getting spiritually recharged. Mozambique was a huge challenge as a health officer responsible for a mind-boggling forty thousand people in 11 villages. In 1994, after the genocide I worked with World Vision in Rwanda leaving me with a greater understanding of the need for love and forgiveness. Although the country was still at war, Liberia was a place of reaping the fruits of my labour, seeing the health message effectively reach the village level.
