Nine people have died since Pozo Negro lost their bridge in hurricane Mitch. When missionary Allen West discovers their need, he is faced with a tremendous task. Not only does the village not have a bridge, it has no church - at all. A local witch doctor, Don Tulio, has successfully kept all forms of religion from the village. He stands as a gatekeeper against the Gospel. The missionary must face principalities and powers he has never faced before. Before it is over, another will die. Dr. Howard Pennington of the Coronado Baptist Church, along with his wife, Donna, and son, Terry, arrive in Costa Rica to begin language learning for their preparation as missionaries. They soon learn that adapting to a new language, lifestyle and people is only the beginning to culture shock. What would it take to send them back to the states? They are about to find out. The spiritual battles begin fiercely and the enemy holds no punches. Rusty Patterson, new pastor of the Coronado Baptist Church learns of a volunteer mission project in Nicaragua to build a bridge. He assembles a team and begins preparing them with the help of Billy Eldridge, whose brother was once a missionary to Honduras. The team will face more than just a construction project for there is a witch doctor over the village of Pozo Negro. It will take a great sacrifice to reach the village. The Bridge is more than a sequel to The Breach. It is about the role of volunteer missions, the adjustments that missionaries face in their first year, and most of all, about spiritual warfare. It is a story about pain, about prayer, and about power. It is a story about building a bridge physically, emotionally and spiritually.
