Klaus-Dieter and Martina John had a vision; to build a top quality health facility for the Indians of the Peruvian Andes. Neglected and marginalised, these people suffer appallingly from the diseases of poverty. Klaus and Martina were highly qualified in surgery and paediatrics, but they had never taken on such a project. Now they set about raising the millions of dollars needed. They watched in astonishment as God opened hearts and pricked consciences to create not just a health centre, but a fully-equipped hospital. If faith can move mountains, it can also shake wallets and transform hearts. This faith has overcome the mire of bureaucracy, deep rooted scepticism, and even blunt rejection. It has cleared blocked roads, blown away arguments, and united Catholics and Protestants in one love for God and their fellow people.

Reviews
"As a scientist I am deeply interested in the evidences that study of the cosmos provides for the existence of God. However, I am not simply a theist but a Christian and one of the central Christian claims is that it is possible to have a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Hence part of the evidence for the truth of Christianity will be found in the testing of that claim in everyday life. The story of Diospi Suyana hospital is a remarkable example of what happens when people take God seriously and I heartily recommend this account as compelling evidence that there is a God who cares." -- John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford
"Of course Klaus John believes in miracles. His life is a story of God's intervention." -- Berliner Tagesspiegel
"I cannot ever remember being so moved just from reading a book." -- Joshua Searle
