Synopsis "Rivers of Grace: A true story of God's matchless grace, as seen through one couple's ministry in Brazil"
In Rivers of Grace, you can witness the life of an Irish medical student and an American G.I. who shared the gospel along the Amazon. The daughter of Salvation Army captains, Olive Sessoms grew up in Belfast, Ireland. During World War II, she escaped the city to cycle alone in the countryside, but she gave up the freedoms of childhood to pursue medical ministry, which led her across the Atlantic to Brazil. Armed with a tiny accordion and an iron will, she helped mission churches share the love and healing of Christ. As she immersed herself in the language and culture, she met another new missionary named John, an American who had fought across Germany, and together they discovered a love that transcended culture. Soon married, Olive and John began building up churches, working with Brazilians who showed them that Christ's work knew no boundaries. In Olive's story, we read of a God who breaks down barriers, who heals the sick and the lost, and who provides hope when every other light fades. We see His grace through warm, passionate, flawed people-people not nearly as different as they first appear.
