Born For Rescue: Finding Purpose By Refusing To Do Nothing

AN UNLIKELY ADVENTURE OF BROKENNESS, REDEMPTION, AND THE SIMPLE ACT OF SHOWING UP.

Pat Bradley stared out the back car window at 70 displaced people huddling together under a few trees to escape the blistering African heat. They had fled their village in South Sudan in the middle of the night as it was destroyed amid a bloody civil war that had indiscriminately claimed the lives of young and old family members alike. As these desperate, mourning survivors became smaller in the back window, they grew ever bigger in Pat’s heart.

He knew they wouldn’t survive unless someone did something―and quickly. But he was just a normal guy―a formerly divorced recovering alcoholic who worked at an ad agency. What could he possibly do?

From that moment forward, Pat Bradley refused to do nothing.

Born For Rescue teaches how anyone can make a difference in the world today.

Born For Rescue

Born For Rescue chronicles harrowing stories of tragedy and restoration across multiple continents. From broken lives liberated in the red-light districts of East Africa to secret meetings with the FBI. From warlords bearing AK-47s to waylaid survivors of tsunamis and earthquakes. From innovative new methods to combat the global hunger crisis to imaginative, courageous young women breaking free from cycles of trafficking and abuse. Born For Rescue reveals how anyone can make a difference in the world right now because the heart of God is to keep showing up and keep shining the light of hope into the darkest of places within us―and how each of us can become a part of seeing and serving others with this light.

Praise For Born For Rescue

“Every major league pitcher strives to throw a perfect game. Pat Bradley and his Crisis Aid ministry throw one every day as they work to rescue people from hunger, sex trafficking, and life under horrible conditions. Born to Rescue features incredible stories about how God has transformed lives through Pat and his team. I highly recommend reading it because your life will be changed as well when you do.”

“The reason I care about Crisis Aid is that I have witnessed the urgency first hand. My eyes have been opened to the desperation in which so many live. I have watched people on the brink of starvation be nursed back to life. I have met many women who have been rescued from the horrors of the red light district, and then go on to live productive and godly lives. I have felt so honored to play a small part in saving lives and souls through Crisis Aid.”

“Crisis Aid opened a door I never suspected … into a world of unimaginable suffering. That I could maybe do something about. The bravery of Crisis Aid astonished me. They’d deliver aid to places where local military feared to tread. I fell in love with Crisis Aid. Then I met founders Susan and Pat and I saw the pain, the determination and the hope in their eyes. That’s why I give. And give more.”

“I became aware of Crisis Aid through a friend, and I’m grateful for his introduction. Pat Bradley and his team are changing the lives of people who are in desperate need. In Born For Rescue you’ll discover not only Pat’s heart, but you’ll read about real people whose lives have been radically changed by Pat and his team at Crisis Aid International. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.”

“If you’ve read God’s Smuggler, Hudson Taylor, or The Hiding Place, this book is cut from the same cloth. The story of how one ordinary life placed in the hands of God will risk all to make a difference in the world.”

Pat Bradley is the FOUNDER of Crisis Aid International.

Pat Bradley is the Founder of Crisis Aid International, one of the first organizations to show up in “no-go zones” where starvation, disease, and danger are part of everyday life. Crisis Aid has provided millions of pounds of food to adults and malnourished children around the world. They have also helped to rescue thousands of young women from sex trafficking, the youngest being four years of age. Crisis Aid is committed to “helping the helpless” with relief efforts locally and globally, equipping those who are beyond the crisis to take responsibility by providing programs that train, inspire, and move them to independent, self-sustaining living.

Pat and Susan, his wife of more than 40 years, live in St. Louis. They have two adult children and six grandchildren.
