This isn’t just a book—it’s a collection of real missionary stories from our years in West Africa. These are the misadventures, miracles, and moments that shaped our ministry and our lives. Some will make you laugh until you cry, others might just bring tears without the laughter, but all of them will give you a front-row seat to the life God has called us to live.

Why I Wrote This Book

For years, people have asked me to write down the stories I’ve shared in churches, coffee shops, and over backyard barbecues. The truth is, missionary life in West Africa isn’t boring. It’s filled with unexpected twists—like dodging snakes, surviving sudden political unrest, and even accidentally finding myself in the middle of a marriage proposal I didn’t see coming.

But this Book By Joe Consford isn’t just about adventure. It’s about how God works in the middle of chaos, danger, and the everyday. Each story ends with a reflection and a Bible verse, pointing back to the One who makes sense of it all.

What’s Inside That’s My Goat – And Other Missionary Stories

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the stories you’ll find inside:

The Snake in the Garage – A black mamba, a desperate scramble for safety, and the importance of having the right friends nearby.
My African Bride – The day cultural misunderstandings and humor collided in an unforgettable way.
The Taxi Ride I’ll Never Forget – A sick day, a dangerous road, and God’s unexpected protection.
Papayas, Proverbs, and the Pain of Language Learning – How trying to speak Fante turned into a crash course in humility.
Kill the White Man – A sobering moment that reminded me of the power of prayer.

And that’s just the beginning. Each chapter is a window into a world most people will never experience firsthand.

Why Pre-Ordering Matters

When you pre-order the Book By Joe Consford ebook, a couple of important things happen:

You get it first – The moment it’s officially released, your copy will appear on your Kindle or Kindle app.
You help spread the word – Pre-orders tell Amazon that a book is worth paying attention to, which means more people will discover it.
You encourage the author – (That’s me!) Every pre-order is like a little cheer from the sidelines, reminding me that people actually want to read these stories.

The Heart Behind the Stories

Writing this book wasn’t about making my name known. It was about giving glory to God through the ups and downs of missionary life. Every chapter points back to Him. Yes, you’ll read about the goats, snakes, cultural surprises, and travel chaos—but you’ll also see how God’s hand was at work in every situation.

This Book By Joe Consford is also my way of saying thank you to all of you who have prayed, supported, and encouraged our family over the years. If you’ve ever wondered what missionary life in West Africa really looks like, here’s your chance to find out.
