Joe Keim
(Author)
Description
Nine months after their traditional Amish wedding, Joe and Esther left family and friends forever to live openly for Christ, and endured shunning and excommunication with bold faith. Since then, the Lord has brought many former Amish people to Joe and Esther for help. Because of their passion for the Amish people and with the support of fellow believers, they have brought biblical truth to thousands of Amish through the ministry they founded in 2000, Mission to Amish People (MAP).Product Details

About the Author
In 1984, I followed tradition and became a member of the Amish Church. I had to go through a 6 month period of training, where we were taught the ordinances, and then I was baptized by a pouring of water on my head.
In July of 1985, a man was sharing with me how Jesus came and died for me, and that He'd taken all of my sin away at Calvary. I listened and then the tears came as I felt a wonderful outpouring of love from God. I asked Jesus to come into my life and to save this poor sinner from hell.
I had been living a very rebellious life and was, at that time, living with my girlfriend. Esther was that girlfriend and she became my first convert, and later my wife. Little did we realize how soon we would also be outcasts of the Amish for our "new beliefs."
