Ripple Effect - A family's story of adventure and faith

The front cover is a colourised photo of Shirley's grandfather on Pindari Glacier, Himalayas.

People with leprosy came to Archie’s clinic at Gopiganj in the Varanasi district, but back in the early 1900s when there was no cure. Archie and Grace longed to do more to relieve the suffering.   

In the1960s, Archie retired and living in New Zealand, visited several Leprosy Mission Hospitals in India and Nepal.

He and Grace supported the Leprosy Mission financially, and by letters of encouragement, for years. Grace knitted many scarves and other items, sending them to the hospitals for the patients in the colder climates.

Always impressed by the Mission’s dedicated work of healing comfort and sharing the gospel, Archie and Grace supported TLM wherever they could.

The ripple effect that God creates forms an interconnecting pattern throughout the story of their lives. Their priority is to serve God whatever happens, and they know they can trust him. 

Below are four excerpts from the book Ripple Effect. We hope you enjoy reading it!
