VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 1/20/10)?International Ministries' Coordinator,
Volunteers in Global Mission, Angela Sudermann, recently published a
memoir entitled "Running Water, Living Water," about her personal
experience as a Christian mission trip leader guiding a team to a
small Lahu Village in Thailand.

In the book, Sudermann shares the story of a single village and their
vision of healthier lives for their community. She also discusses how
a dedicated group of hill tribe men and women serve in a ministry
called the Integrated Tribal Development Program (ITDP) to help
villages realize that same vision.

The 100-page paperback book, including 11 pages of photographs, is a
call to people to go experience Thailand ? the wonderful hospitality,
the amazing food, the beautiful country ? and share in the ministry,
as ITDP continues to work with villages through community projects in
water and sanitation, agriculture, education, medicine and more.

Having lived in five different states across the country, and after
going through a rough initiation to foreign travel in Paris, Sudermann
can now be heard echoing Isaiah, "Here I am, send me," when it comes
to traveling overseas. Equipped with a B.A. in fashion merchandising
and an M.S. in textile engineering, she left an industrial career to
follow Jesus into mission at American Baptist International Ministries.

Sudermann helps volunteer missionaries serve globally and is always
excited to see what God is doing around the world through regular
people who want to be the hands and feet of Christ.

"Running Water, Living Water," published by WriteLife, LLC, 2009, is
available through www.Amazon.com and www.WriteLife.com for $7.95.
Angela is donating all royalties to the ministries of Mike Mann,
International Ministries Global Consultant to Thailand and the
