Stories from the life of Norma Hartman Plank

Even as a child growing up during the Great Depression on the sunny plains of Ohio, Norma's heart turned toward her treasure. She loved her Lord and wanted to minister to people. So when God called Norma and her husband Marion to mission work in the steep, shady hollows of Kentucky, they went willingly.

In Kentucky, the Hartman family found that where God calls, He also provides. Whether their need was kitchen cabinets, five dollars for gas and groceries, or a freezer, God met the need in His perfect timing. Surrounded by poverty, the Hartman family marveled at the simple kindnesses shown by their mountain neighbors. The family faced community tragedies brought on by drinking and family feuds, and they rejoiced when a group of young people chose to be baptized.

Where He Leads, I'll Follow tells stories from Norma Hartman Plank's life, starting with her childhood and ending with the death of Marion, her first husband. Norma's testimony is that the most exciting is one lived for God, being available every day for His service.
