Out of It in Africa

These humorous and thoughtful memoirs are written by an unlikely missionary couple who venture off into rural Upcountry Kenya, East Africa to train local pastors. Their compilation of letters written from the field and the commentary that surrounds them reveal an honest and comical picture of learning to live cross-culturally while managing to establish a ministry training institute. The frustration of trying to understand a completely different worldview brings them face to face with their own "mistaken certainties" and the need to humbly recognize God at work in every culture. This account is a fun read and offers a great deal of insight for those who plan to become missionaries, or who have already been serving for years. For those who think they could never become missionaries, Out of It in Africa just might change some minds.
