Both Feet In: A Journey to Surrender, Sacrifice, and Service

by Bud Fray, Kim P. Davis

Both Feet In is a captivating biography of missionary Bud Fray—named Baba Moyo, or Father Heart, by an African man he befriended—and so much more. It is countless stories of God’s power at work, of a purifying flame of revival in the African bush that provides the backdrop for the heartrending, inspiring account of a missionary couple who hungered for God’s presence in every part of their lives—a hunger you may be feeling as well, whether to go on the missions field or simply live your everyday life walking more deeply with Christ.

Baba Moyo’s transparent account of his personal moments of transformation will refresh and, at times, humble and convict those who partake of his story. Only through surrender, sacrifice, and service did God reveal Himself and satisfy Baba Moyo’s hunger for Him. If you want to know how to abide wholeheartedly in Christ, and if you yearn to live with abandon to the Father’s purposes, then put “both feet in.”

Going into Both Feet In by Bud Fray, I did not expect much. I expected to read it but not take much away. However, I was blown away by the impact it had. His heart for Christ showed through every sentence, and his writing exhibited the beauty and rawness of mission work. The life lessons and experiences that Fray shared seemed to speak directly into my life. I have had the absolute pleasure of visiting Africa myself, and I can say, without a doubt, that Fray captures it more beautifully than I ever could. The joys, struggles, and love that the people of Africa have shine through in everything they endure and experience. Fray's missionary work there is an inspiration, and his words of wisdom will be on my heart forever.

Having recently had the honor of getting to know Bud and Jane Fray, reading this book meant so much more to me! It's amazing to hear stories of their missionary life in Africa and the lives they touched.
