Firestarters

Ashley Perkins was twenty-three years old when she left her small, rural Texas hometown for a life in the African bush. Responding to the undeniable call of God, Ashley chose to leave all she knew to love, teach, and serve the children of Restoration Gateway orphanage. Located in the region of Northern Uganda, which had been terrorized for over twenty years by Joseph Kony and the LRA, the children of Restoration Gateway had seen pain, loss, and sorrow many have never known. However, God had a new plan for their lives; a plan of hope and redemption.

In her year of living among children forced to be adults before their time, Ashley learned when God restores His children- He restores and then some. Firestarters is a true story of the darkest of pasts being renewed and used for Gods glory. It is the story of children who have been set apart to set the world ablaze with the message of Gods hope, grace, and love.
