Episodes Notes

Ellen Pierre Louis grew up in a small, rural Ontario town, but at the age of 20 found herself on a plane for the first time, headed for Haiti.

Her book, Sweet Surrender, takes you on the journey of a young woman who gave up everything in Canada to go after God's heart and His desires for her life. On today's show (and in the book) she tells you her story of overcoming fears, stepping out in faith, living in a third-world country, and doing ministry plus all the in-betweens of how God pursued her, refined her, and brought her to her knees in surrender.

She also shares how she and her family survived the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the aftermath that followed. Ellen describes her experiences with real-life reactions, honesty, and a little humour with a side of sarcasm.

Sweet Surrender will not only show you that God is still at work and is simply looking for willing hearts, but it will give you basic foundational steps to kick away fear and step into your calling. How many of us are willing to give it all up and take a risk for God? Would you do it if you knew He would change everything? Who's ready for the highs and the lows of doing the work of Christ? Let's go on this journey and see what God has in store.
