Tuesday, December 23, 2025

 Sandra and Greg Mundis are the resilient couple behind the inspirational real-life account, “Patient Number One: Embracing Hope in Times of Despair.” Greg, a global leader as Executive Director of Assemblies of God World Mission, and Sandra, a gifted storyteller and founder of Europe’s Children ministry, have spent decades impacting lives across 195 countries. Their new book chronicles Greg’s harrowing journey as the first COVID-19 intubation patient at his hospital—given little chance to live—and Sandra’s fierce faith-fueled advocacy, demonstrating the miraculous power of hope, family, and community in the darkest times.

In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Sandra and Greg join Robert Plank to share their journey from devastation to hope. They candidly detail Greg’s critical illness, the emotional and physical ordeal of prolonged hospitalization and rehabilitation, Sandra’s steadfast persistence, and the profound role faith and global prayer played in recovery. The conversation highlights themes of family unity, the psychological toll of crisis, finding purpose beyond suffering, and the decision to turn their collective trauma into a published story of inspiration. Listeners will learn about the importance of documenting miracles, building a support network, and how adversity can lead to deeper connection and renewed mission.
