Based on the true story of a loving father, is the epic testimony of one young Christian family's incredible journey during one of their most trying hours. Charlie Collins is living the American dream with a beautiful wife, kids, dog, and a house. He hears a faint whisper from God to go to Africa but he easily dismisses it as an unatainable dream - but the days of life as he knows it are numbered. When he finally does answer God's call to Africa, little does he know that God will be forever changing the course of his life forever. The young man discovers that God uses this mission to echo His faithfulness time and time again. From 180 prisoners accepting Christ, to healings, to adoption, to answered prayers, to even death in an African river, God proves that He is faithful to His followers. Christians who love to read true and amazing stories of God's faithfulness will absolutely love this book. 2 Thes 3:3 "But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one." (NIV)

Tripping Into the Light

Diagnosed with a rare eye disorder in the third grade, Charlie's self-esteem began to unravel by the thread. He wouldn't have a future as a detective like his hero, Magnum P.I. He would never soar in a jet fighter like he dreamed. He would never drive a race car and see the checkered flag wave. College was out of the question, because he just wasn't smart enough. At least that's what the teachers told him. Only a God who was unusually cruel would shatter the dreams of a little boy by creating him defective. It was the only explanation that made any sense, and it was a crushing blow. If God didn't care about him, why should he care about himself? And so began Charlie's freefall into a world of negative self-talk and ultimately addiction. A self-destructive plummet that would see him cheat death twice as he marched to the precipice of suicide. Raw and brutally honest, Tripping into the Light is a tale of soaring triumphs and heartbreaking defeat. It illustrates the power of true love and the undying spirit of hope. It is about one man's willingness to try just one more time, when it seemed all was lost. Through Charlie's eyes, we see that all things are possible if we are willing to roll up our sleeves and do the work. www.TrippingIntoTheLight.com

Learn how to start and maintain an effective bus ministry! Topics included are: strategies, planning, preparation, marketing, safety, discipline, tips, troubleshooting, and forms. This is a must-read book if you are interested in starting a bus ministry or outreach program at your church. The author, Charlie Collins, and his family have been involved in bus ministry since 2008. During this time, they helped to start bus ministries at multiple churches. In 2015, they founded Roll To Church. Roll To Church is a non-profit ministry designed to help churches start bus ministries in order to reach their communities for Christ. Over the years, they have had many successes and failures, learning from each one along the way. Bus ministry sounds like a simple concept. However, without the proper training and preparation, long-lasting damage could be done to the church and the community's perception of the church. The Collins family sincerely hopes that this book will be a valuable and informative resource to those desiring to start a bus ministry.
