Growing up, Ben and Rose were separated by a couple years and social circles. Back then it seemed like they wouldn’t have been a match. Timing is what is important here though. If they would have met earlier, it’s likely she wouldn’t have been interested in him and he wouldn’t have been interested in her. However, in the right season they, to even their own surprise came together. What I find interesting is that God was introducing the idea of translating the Bible where it wasn’t, all those years ago before Ben even knew this was something important to him. These two wouldn’t become one for years, but God was preparing Ben’s other half for a significant task right there in front of him, In the same small town, except they wouldn’t speak of it for more than a decade or even speak at all for that matter. In our third episode Rose will tell us where the commitment to becoming a missionary began and just how unexpected Ben’s arrival was.
