By Life or By Death: Extreme African Exploits for the Gospel

Laboring under some of the toughest conditions on earth, risking death at the hands of rebel warlords, traversing disease infected jungles and crossing seemingly impossible routes across Africa, Winfried has learned from the examples of missionaries who have gone before while blazing a trail for others to follow.

From a background of driving tanks in the German Special Forces, yet now armed with little more than a Bible and the promises of God, ‘Wini,’ as he is known to friends, has for over thirty years promoted the Gospel, literally cleared the ground and stage for what many have said are ‘the greatest evangelistic initiatives in Africa.’

By Life or By Death is a gripping account of endurance, highlighting the miraculous and harrowing escapes of Winfried Wentland, as he sought to bring light and life to the continent of Africa. This is a story of love, family and the determination to overcome. It is a compelling testimony of a God-given calling, propelled by initiative, determination and faith yet under-girded by God's protective hand. It contains a message to all who have heard the call to missions and is a testimony of God's unrivaled faithfulness in and through all things.
