What does it feel like to step over a line and be in another state? How does a physician from America serving in Western Africa cross over from surviving a pandemic with determination to go back into an infected area to save more lives? This is the story of Dr. Rick Sacra, whose service as a missionary doctor at ELWA in Monrovia, Liberia was magnified during the Ebola outbreak of 2014 catapulting him to a media platform that he has used for God’s purposes. Pointing to a future of hope through COVID and trials we all face human beings. As 2 Corinthians 1:9 reminds us of a resurrection hope.
