Description

The icy Arctic cold stabbed at Wilfreds fingers and toes A howling wind was pushing the ice pan he was stranded on out to sea and with it hope of rescue His clothes soaked when his dogsled fell through the ice were now frozen Lying near his sled dog for warmth Wilfred fought off sleep knowing he might never wake up

Adventurous Wilfred Grenfell was no stranger to danger As a new Christian this English doctor ministered to fishermen on the deadly North Sea And when her heard about the appalling poverty and injustice across the ocean in Newfoundland he went to work among the deperately poor fishing communities of the wild remote Labrador coast

There Dr Grenfell pioneered lifesaving hospitals schools orphanages and fishermens coops as he shared the hope of the gospel with people whose lives has offered only despair For good reason everyone from heads of state to destitute children revered Sir Wilfred Grenfell for his kindness and courage
