The Volunteer Adventures Of Ed And Sara Unger Stoesz 1964 2011

The Volunteer Adventures of Ed and Sara Unger Stoesz details forty seven years of service of a Mennonite couple from Altona, Manitoba. In addition to their work as electrician and home maker, Ed and Sara each have given ten years of their lives to volunteering in their home community and abroad. From Sara Stoesz helping in 1972 to start a Mennonite Central Committee Self-Help Store, to Ed Stoesz going in 1975 to Paraguay to help set up a radio station, their volunteer service over the last forty-seven years exemplifies a desire to help others on the basis of their Christian faith. Their selfless vision and commitment have inspired their children to publish a book of their exploits. The book has been written to honour their parents, give inspiration to their grandchildren, and give thanks and encouragement to all people who give of their time for others.
