The First Yes
The call, the preparation, and the first hard lessons of trusting God beyond comfort and familiarity.
Bill and LaMoin Cunningham built a life around the call of God. These are the stories LaMoin carried home from decades of ministry, family life, unexpected places, and unforgettable people.
It was about the people waiting there. The children who needed a home. The churches that needed strengthening. The young family learning how to live far from everything familiar.
Bill and LaMoin’s story crosses countries and generations, but its center remains simple: go where God sends, love the people He places before you, and trust Him with what comes next.
Missionary life rarely unfolded the way they imagined. There were unfamiliar customs, difficult decisions, frightening moments, and plenty of situations that became funny only after everyone was safe.
LaMoin wrote because those moments mattered. Her books do not present ministry as a polished highlight reel. They show the people, mishaps, sacrifices, faith, and grace that filled the days between the major milestones.
LaMoin’s books open windows into different places and chapters of their ministry. Together, they form a record of courage, family, culture shock, humor, and the steady grace of God.
