Gary and Peggy Ifft have been missionaries in Ethiopia for over 9 years and are currently serving in Ziway, Ethiopia at the Lifesong site. Gary recently completed his first book, titled I'm Just an Illinois Farm Boy.

Background

Gary Ifft, President and co-founder of Misgana Ministries has published his book “I’m Just an Illinois Farm Boy” documenting his “missionary journey.” Gary tells about his experiences from the first time he ever became aware of the concept of “missions” or “missionaries” up to the establishment of Misgana Ministries in Ethiopia. Misgana Ministries is a Christian integrated rural development project which is centered at the rural Ethiopian town of Ziway.

This book is full of intriguing stories recapping Gary’s and his wife, Peggy’s, journey from their childhoods up through a successful corporate career and on to Ethiopia. After working with Wycliffe Bible Translators and administering two hospitals, they are now developing infrastructure, constructing a school, operating feeding programs, helping Ethiopians begin small businesses, caring for orphans, and much more.
