The five sections of this book take you through the process of missions, from learning a tribal language and culture to seeing a thriving church established. Within those sections, for every chapter, in addition to fun village facts and tidbits of science, you will find:
From the Tribe - a real-life story that took place while we lived in the village
To Your Home - a lesson that can be learned from the story
In the Word - a passage of Scripture to read with three questions for further study
On Your Journey - a thought to take with you as go out on your own journey
This book is unique in that it can be read straight through from beginning to end, in random order, or as a 35-day devotional study. It is a great tool for individual devotions and has been designed to work especially well in a small group study format.
These daily devotions take a close look at the lessons, insights, and challenges found in God's Word and their relevance for each of us today. You will be encouraged to make a difference on your side of the world and maybe on the other side as well.
