Junipero Serra’s mission was never easy. Arriving in the new world for the first time, his missionary efforts were cut short by a deadly Comanche raid. Even so, he never gave up on his trust in God. Through ten years of administrative work, he trusted radically in God’s providence and allowed himself to be an effective instrument in God’s plans. He teaches lessons of trust, obedience, and hope, even in the face of extreme persecution.
