During a particularly trying time, she recorded ninety âwhispers from the Lordâ in her personal journals. The four years during which Arlene recorded these messages (1975-1979) were among the most difficult years in the history of modern Ethiopia as well as Arleneâs own life. Even as she began transcribing the messages, a violent political movementâthe Qey Shibir (Red Terror)âdescended on the nation. After being forced to leave her beloved church and her nursing students, she moved to the nationâs capital and was eventually ejected from the country. She soon returned to Africa, however, working this time in Zambia until her retirement in 1989. Although Arlene recorded these âwhispersâ as a personal encouragement, at age ninety-eight, she now wishes to share her journal with others who struggle and need to be reminded of Godâs faithfulness during dark days. Here is an affirmation of Godâs intimacy with his children and his loving response to us all. 541 $d 20230705. 650 4 $a RELIGION / Christian Ministry / Missions. 650 7 $a RELIGION / Christian Life / Inspirational. 650 7 $a Local authors $z Iowa $v non-fiction. 650 4 $a Iowa/Dutch Heritage Collection. 650 $a Iowa author(s) $z Northwest Iowa. 650 7 $a Iowa history. 941 $a 4 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525042022.0 952 $l HMPB845 $d 20231212010907.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20230920010411.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20230919010402.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2FC66F856B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
