Faith, courage, and survival—in two different worlds.

“I had come 10,000 miles to Myanmar only to discover I hadn’t yet taken a step. God had carried me to this place and positioned me for the real journey—the journey of faith. It was time for me to take my first step, the only step God cannot take for you . . .” — Gary Watkins, LFM co-founder. This is the story of loss—the loss of dignity, humanity, and hope—along with the cultural annihilation of part of an entire country. It is also a story of the redemptive power of faith and love, bringing hope to a forgotten people. Set against the background of Myanmar’s rich and complex history, The Torn Truth reveals a unique and compassionate culture torn apart by the oppression of a tyrannical government. Part travelogue, part historical perspective, The Torn Truth tells the story of the triumph of the human spirit.
