David and Svea Flood
Listen now
Description
Imagine dedicating your life to a cause, only to see it seemingly fail, leading to sorrow and despair. This is what David and Svea Flood faced as they set out as missionaries in Africa in 1921. They endured hardships, illness, and the tragic loss of Svea, who died shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Aina. Overwhelmed by grief, David abandoned his faith, believing their mission had failed. But years later, Aina discovered that her parents' sacrifice was not in vain. The seeds sown in tears had brought a remarkable harvest—a thriving church and hundreds of believers. Psalm 126:5 reminds us, "Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy." Join us as we explore how God turns our tears into joy, using our trials and sacrifices in ways we could never imagine. Scripture Reading: Psalm 126:5
