As the Ebola pandemic swept across West Africa in the spring of 2014, Samaritan’s Purse stepped up to provide comfort, compassion, and care to the hurting people of Liberia — all in the name of Jesus. Facing Darkness tells the incredible true story of how —with faith, skill, determination, and prayer — the organization worked around-the-clock to bring Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol (who contracted Ebola) home, all the while praying for a miracle.
