About the Book
Mark Steines’ life changed forever when he landed on African soil in Sierra Leone. He traveled with a group of doctors, nurses and volunteers through Lighthouse Medical Missions to photograph the needs of the people there and the hope this team provided. They saw unbelievable poverty, heartbreaking sickness, and desperation. They also, however, saw inexplicable joy and sincere gratitude. In just over a week in Sierra Leone, Mark took nearly 10,000 pictures - capturing not only the team’s journey, but the spirit of a nation. Some of the most telling images are in the pages of this book.
