Leanna Cinquanta - Treasures in Dark Places: One Woman, a Supernatural God and a Mission to the Toughest Part of India

Dr. Leanna Cinquanta is a spiritual daughter of mine, and I could not be more excited about what God is doing through her to spread the Gospel and rescue the broken in the nation of India. There are few more qualified than Leanna to write a book about treading fearlessly into the forgotten and dark places of the earth to reveal the light and hope of Jesus and pull out the gold in those trapped in a hopeless existence.

Treasures in Dark Places is compelling, heart-wrenching and beautifully written. Leanna reminds us that the need in the earth may be great, but our God is so much greater. By reading Leannas call into ministry, her commissioning into the harvest field and ultimately her inspiring impact and transformative work in the nation of India, your faith will be awakened that you, too, are able to pierce darkness in the face of human tragedyas 1 John 5:4 assures us, Everyone born of God overcomes the world.

I remember Leanna as a wide-eyed 23-year-old who came to YWAM Denver eager to find her place in Gods Kingdom. From the very start she displayed a wholehearted passion to help others. I never imagined, however, that she would end up doing a fraction of the amazing things she has. Her life is a testament to this fact: God will use anyone whose life is completely surrendered to Him. Treasures in Dark Places is the powerful account of a young woman willing to leave the comfort and security of a promising career to serve God wherever He would leadand He led her to one of the most difficult places on earth. You wont be able to put this book down until youve read the very last page. It is engaging and inspiring, but what is most astounding is that the stories youre about to read are all true.

A remarkably crafted tool for the laborer seeking to plant churches among the unreached. This is an unforgettable hands-on account of a highly motivated pioneer opening new territory. Leanna learned to hear the voice of God, understood His heart for a desperate people group and assembled a team of local workers to get the job done. They became an emergency response team that released victims trapped by the enemys earthquake, healed their wounds and set them on the pathway to the clearing in which Gods love is the total source of light. A gripping story!

For a decade I have known and worked with Leanna and many of the dear believers we both count as treasures. This is book-of-Acts territory and proof that the Gospel is the greatest force on earth. I commend to you her adventure and pray you will share in it.

Leanna is a practitioner, not just a theorist. When I met her in India, she went by the title Sis, but she was raising up indigenous leaders to empower the people and rescue children. The Lord has given her eyes to see what others dont see yettreasures in everyone!

Dr. Mark D. Tubbs, U.S.A. director, Harvest International Ministry

I met Leanna and heard her story for the first time in 1999. The anointing of the Holy Spirit was so strong when she was talking that all I could do was weep. Leanna is walking in the calling of God, and Treasures in Dark Places will release a newness and a higher purpose into your life. May all who read this pray for and support her world-changing initiatives.
