Discover between the lines of their letters; an
artist, a dentist and a midwife who battle trial and
challenge, in order to bring hope to the next
generation. Saltmine and Arab World Ministry of
Pioneers present a powerful and poignant journey

God-given passion for the unreached. The three
characters will be based on missionaries past and
present who have been called by God to serve in
the Arab world.
