Julia Love graduated from Macquarie University in New South Wales, Australia, and started her career as a high school teacher. Her faith in the Lord began after she was miraculously healed of a debilitating muscle disease in 1977. At the Lord's calling to missions, she uprooted herself from her job, family, friends and began the life of a missionary. Over a span of more than thirty years, she lived and served in Bolivia, Mozambique, and the Ukraine, and eventually other fascinating nations like Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Spain and the Philippines.
