Lessons Learned in the Lion's Den
Daniel Waheli is married and a father of two children. For sixteen years he worked in Africa towards the establishment of a network of indigenous and culturally sensitive home-based fellowships among Muslims. He currently lives with his family in Asia and is involved in the training, mentoring, and sending the gospel witnesses throughout the 10/40 window with the goal to see all peoples reached with the saving message of Jesus.
In a world where mission strategies come and go and often fall short of being effective, Waheli distills his experience into twelve principles for building character to better serve the Lord and persevere in His call. Whether you are a pioneer among unreached people groups or simply a Christian hungry to see Jesus glorified in your daily life, these tried and true concepts will prepare you to endure in the face of hardship.

Read this book to know what it was like for this modern-day Daniel to pray in the lion’s den. Read it to find out what it was like for his wife, his son, and his daughter to hope and pray and feel afraid during his captivity... There is an anointing on the lessons Daniel wants to burn into your heart.
— Bob Blincoe, US Director, Frontiers -
In the years I have followed the lives and ministry of Daniel Waheli and his family, I have come to regard them as examples of Christian discipleship and cross-cultural church planting at its best. Now comes this book that profoundly humbles, challenges, and motivates me.
— Herschel Rosser, church planting mentor and coach, Vineyard USA
