The Best Secret In YWAM

The Gleanings Miracle, by Dr. Steve Witmer, is an inspiring journey through Gleanings for the Hungry, born out of deep compassion for the hungry.

What begins with a friendship with Wally Wenge—his all-encompassing mission fueled by a heartfelt commitment to helping people experiencing poverty—exposes the readers to encounters with Cambodian refugees and, eventually, the concept of gleaning surplus food from orchards and learning by oral tradition about his people’s culture and traditions.

The book captures the humble beginnings of what was Gleanings in California’s Central Valley, where Wally and his wife, Norma, worked diligently to turn discarded fruit into life-giving nourishment for the hungry. With unwavering support from volunteers and divine provision, Gleanings blossomed into a thriving operation that processed millions of pounds of food every year.

Indeed, Gleanings has had a phenomenal impact on its outreach, from local efforts to international distributions following the Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, so it relates to Witmer. Tender testimonies show how the ministry has not only met people’s immediate need for food but has also nurtured their spirits, which are woven into every chapter.

In the end, The Gleanings Miracle is an invitation to see God’s faithfulness fulfilled from within oneself, encouraging the readers to reflect His love in their communities.

This book is an uplifting narrative that honors a legacy of compassion and underscores the profound difference one dedicated mission can make in the world: join Dr. Witmer on this journey of faith, service, and hope.
