Listen to the Children is a gripping story of ministry and outreach tangling with global politics and greed. From the sleepy town of Cumberland, Maryland, to the savannah of Africa, a righteous group has formed around the task of feeding the hungry in a war-torn country against decided odds. John Pearson Jr. is charismatic leader of the outreach ministries that bring together a group that includes Ruth, the soft-spoken advocate for righteousness, Cal, her intrepid pilot husband who maintains a steady source of supplies to the starving people, Marilyn, a reporter whose ministry is getting the word out to Ava, her editor back in Maryland.
