About the Book

"Here are the children; where are the teachers?" Standing on the walls of ancient Nineveh at Mosul Iraq in 1976, those words, spoken from above, changed the lives of Bettie Mitchell and 1000s of people in 38 countries. Bettie, now 77, has retired and is telling the world the whole story. Alive to a Samaritan life, her story will challenge and encourage the call on your life. An impossible assignment has become the only thing that is possible. Bettie has lived a life of vulnerability for the sake of all who wait upon the Lord. Bring your life to her testimony, as we share in one another's sufferings and one another's joys.
About the Author: Bettie Mitchell lives every day as a Samaritan. She is the founder of Good Samaritan Ministries, and a mother of three daughters, and one adopted son, while married to Jerry for more than 60 years. Her life story will challenge and encourage you. In 1976, at the age of 42, she was standing on the walls of ancient Nineveh at Mosul, Iraq, when she heard the call. This call would change thousands of lives during the next 35 years as she sacrificed comfort to respond to the suffering of others in her neighborhood and in Africa. With a team of Samaritans, led by the Lord, people were healed across cultural, religious and geographic barriers. An impossible assignment has become the only thing that is possible for a woman who deeply believes the shocking, radical words of Jesus recorded in the Bible. Bettie taught Bible classes at Portland Community College, as well as working for 18 years as a substitute teacher in public schools. In 1976, she heard the call while traveling in Iraq, (described in her autobiographical book, Something Worth Saving). Bettie was standing on the wall in the ancient city of Nineveh. She saw children playing. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted. The Lord asked her, "Do you see the children?" She said, "Yes, Lord." He said, "Here are the children, where are the teachers? I want you to go home and quit your teaching job, and teach nothing but my Kingdom." This call was confirmed three days later in a town called Irbil. Then in Ur when she received the message from the Lord, "Every thought in your brain is negative and judgmental." So the instruction from the Lord came: "I want you to take each thought and bring it to me...and I will change your mind." She agreed and did it. Born in Colorado and raised in Oregon, Bettie began the ministry in her home in Beaverton, Oregon. In 1986, Bettie was surprised when an African came to meet her. You'll need to read Bettie's sixth book, From the Bush to the Roots, to find out how thousands of adults and children in Africa continue to be touched by non-judgmental Samaritan love. www.GoodSamaritanMinistries.org Other books by this author, -From the Bush to the Roots (2014) -Shall We Walk On By?
