Description
Being a missionary in Ivory Coast of West Africa not only has dangers, hard work and culture shock - it has moments of high joy and deep sorrow. Most of all, the work of life is found in the small, daily things. When one is part of the village but considered by the residents "at the edge of the village", you're in a different place. This book consists of Lisa Leidenfronst's observations about missionary life. It has been compiled from her personal letters to her friends in a church in the United States, telling both of ordinary and extraordinary experiences, the solemn and the playful, the mundane and exotic, so that anyone with a burden to serve the peoples of the world in missions can obtain a down-to-earth portrait of what it is to work for the gospel's sake in a different place.
