Description

“Come on Jack,” Wilfred yelled. “Faster!” But it did not matter. The worst thing happened.  Right in front of the dogs the ice cracked open. Watching in horror, Jack and then one by one the other dogs, slid into the freezing water…


When he was young, Wilfred thought serving God couldn’t possibly be exciting. But God had a job in mind for him and guided him to a life more exciting than Wilfred could have imagined. Take part in this dangerous and adventurous life of Dr Wilfred Grenfell, missionary and medic to the frozen wastelands of Labrador and Newfoundland.
