Please God, Be With Us answers the question, “What was it like to grow up in
the Brazil of the 1960’s?” The sixties are a decade of turmoil for Americans,
but most of it happened in the U.S. in the last half of the decade. In Brazil the
turmoil was during the first half. The McAfee’s were there, living it with the people
they ministered to. The McAfee family has had a continuous missionary presence
in Brazil for the past fifty years, so this book commemorates the beginning of that
faith endeavor.
