This book really helped articulate some things I have felt or observed when visiting other countries as well as working side by side with teammates who have come from other places.  I have so much to learn!  I&#8217;m so grateful for the grace of God in drawing my attention to ways that I can love my neighbors well with the goal of sharing the gospel.  This book also reminded me that I CANNOT wait to travel again.
