All the Days of My Life is a detailed autobiographical account of the life of evangelical pioneer missionary Sam Faircloth. Sam records how he arrived in Portugal as a young man of 28, with his wife Arlie and little daughter Becky, to learn a new language and found a new seminary in Leiria north of Lisbon, where some students lacked even the basic necessities of life. His chronological account narrates both the joys and struggles of further work later in evangelism and church planting in the Lisbon area. Sams family of eventually seven daughters were all actively involved at some point in the Faircloths ministry. They felt blessed to witness Gods clear hand at work in the birth and growth of the Parede Baptist Church, which then went on to plant other churches in the Lisbon area. Another great privilege was co-founding the Portuguese Bible Institute and watching again as graduates from the Bible institute took greatly needed leadership of churches around Portugal, as they had from the Baptist Theological Seminary of Leiria years before. Spending his last six years of overseas ministry in the Netherlands, Sam was again thrilled to be involved with the founding of a seminary, Tyndale Theological Seminary. Sam writes candidly of the heartbreak of losing both Arlie and his second wife Ruth but rejoices in Gods goodness and mercy as he continues to serve the Lord with his wife Betty in retirement.
