Product description...

ONE SMALL BOY, ONE BIG DIFFERENCE

While on a mission trip to Guatemala, Missions Pastor Mike Megginson meets Rudy, a three-year-old boy who has been abandoned and abused. In spite of it all, though, Rudy is still loving and trusting, with a big heart and an even bigger sense of humor. Pastor Mike, his wife Sally, and fellow missionary Mary Haring Purvis become determined to provide Rudy with a safe home and a loving family—no matter what.

This seemingly small, insignificant boy living in a remote mountain village would become the catalyst for something bigger than anyone could have imagined. Across three countries—Guatemala, Costa Rica, and the United States—Rudy would challenge and shape the hearts and souls of those who loved him. By Raising Rudy, his friends, teachers, and family members would bring to life God’s purpose for themselves, their ministries, and one very special child.

Through the laughter and the heartache, the joy and the sorrow, the triumph and the tragedy—one little boy would change everything.
