About the Guest:
Robin Jones Gunn’s journey began with a spirit of adventure and a heart for faith. She traveled to Mexico on mission trips and later to Europe, where she bravely smuggled Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, an experience that sparked her lifelong calling to serve. Eager to go wherever she was needed, Robin applied to multiple missionary organizations, but faced repeated rejections. When one organization offered a rare opening as a laundry supervisor in Nairobi, Kenya, she seized the chance and shared her plans with the girls in her Sunday school class, where she had already been making an impact for years. These early experiences fueled her passion for sharing stories of faith, hope, and inspiration—a calling that would later blossom into her successful writing career.
