“If it’s time for her to go, I trust You. But please, if I can, I want to keep her.”
Rebecca Mallay whispered that prayer on the cold floor of a hospital bathroom as her infant daughter fought for her life. Years later, she and her husband, Seth, would cling to the same surrendered trust as they walked their eldest daughter, Arwen, through terminal cancer while serving as missionaries in Togo.
The Mallays’ story is part of Surrendered Heart: How God’s Calling Shapes Relationships, a new book by MedSend CEO Rick Allen. It follows healthcare missionaries who have faced unimaginable grief yet continue to serve with courage and faith in some of the world’s most difficult places.

Surrendered Heart invites readers into those sacred stories — where obedience costs everything, yet Jesus remains enough. If you or someone you know is navigating a costly calling, this book will remind you that you are not alone.
Every purchase of Surrendered Heart directly supports MedSend’s ministry to healthcare missionaries.
