About the Book
That’s My Goat – And Other Missionary Stories is a collection of true, fast-moving stories from our years in West Africa — near-misses, miracles, and the everyday grace of ministry. If you enjoy real-life adventure with heart and humor, you’ll love this book.
From a review of the book: “That’s My Goat – And Other Missionary Stories is a book you won’t want to put down! Joe Consford takes readers on a journey through real-life adventures in West Africa, blending humor, danger, and powerful faith lessons. One moment you’ll be laughing at a cultural misunderstanding, and the next you’ll be holding your breath as a snake slithers too close for comfort. Each story is both entertaining and inspirational, reminding us that God is at work in every circumstance. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure, faith, and true stories that stir the soul!”
