Ten years in the life of a front-line evangelist in Burundi: learning to trust God in the most extreme circumstances

Dangerously Alive tells the epic and adventurous biography of Simon Guillebaud and his 10 years of being a front-line evangelist in Burundi - one of the most dangerous countries on earth. In 1999 Simon went to Burundi with a team of evangelistic, which he pulled together to reach the youths of the streets. Several colleagues died and God honoured their efforts. Hundreds found faith and miracles became almost a daily occurrence. Simon tells us in the book how he did not expect to survive, however God had other plans. A lady that Simon met called Lizzie was willing to share his tough life: they now have three children. During his time in Burundi Simon was determined to construct the best conference centre there, which was built without incurring debts or paying bribes. Simon states -'The book combines prayer letters, diary entries and reflections from ten years in a war zone, from very humble beginnings to a massively fruitful ministry. It covers witchcraft, miracles, evangelism, Islam, orphans, street kids, aids, business for mission, and stories of triumphant faith in the midst of hideous suffering. It includes dark times and disillusionments. It's real, vulnerable and raw.'
