Only a boy, Emmanuel's childhood gave way to a daily fight for survival when his family was forced to flee and become refugees. As miracle-after-miracle pulled his family from the brink of death, he devoted his life to God's work, whatever that may be. Fifteen years after escaping the Congo, Emmanuel decided to leave the safe borders of America and trace his footsteps back to the life he left behind. What he discovered in the Congo--disease, extreme poverty, deficient infrastructure, and, worst of all, a prevalent spirit of hopelessness--changed his life forever, setting him on an ambitious mission. As Emmanuel started collecting gently used footwear to bring hope to his people, his work united thousands across the country, even attracting the attention of NBA star Steph Curry."-- $c Publisher marketing. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Prologue: Home, but not home (homecoming part 1) -- Dancing in the streets -- The thunder of war -- Through the jungle -- Banana sledding in Kaziba -- City in chaos -- Internally displaced -- "We did not come here to die" -- Waiting up for Mom -- The Congo boys -- Waiting for our angel -- The Ntiboneras arrive -- Looking back -- Fresh wounds (homecoming part II) -- A house full of shoes -- Kick'n it for a cause -- Empty hands -- Father to the fatherless -- Shoeprints -- Forgotten people. 600 10 $a Ntibonera, Emmanuel. 650 0 $a Missionaries $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Missionaries $z Congo (Democratic Republic) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Missions $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 $a Humanitarianism $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 $a Christian biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Menard, Drew, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201217010207.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85859F3E403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
