From Welfare to God's Care

When an auto accident left David D. Visser a paraplegic, he struggled to live on welfare, then found himself without even that basic income. He turned to his belief in God rather than give up. "From Welfare to God's Care" is his success story.

Visser's faith inspired him to turn to God for strength in life's work, problems, and relationships. He found that he had worth and, led by his faith, discovered the skills that enabled him to successfully run several businesses.

"It does not mean we are free from the difficulties of life, but during the difficulties God will provide a way out," Visser says.

Visser writes about how, after the accident, he designed a house. That led to opportunities to design other houses and a career doing accounting for builders in the community. He goes into detail about the businesses he helped run and how he continued believing in Christ, which he credits for his success. His hope is that "From Welfare to God's Care" shows how God can make a difference in a person's life.

"To be religious is one thing, but trusting God is another," Visser says. "It is a guide to trust God no matter what the circumstances are."
