Cross-Culture Ministry in Mali
Little did I know that a red-headed lady sitting in my Bible classes would one day decide to teach in Mali, Africa. But that's just what she did. This letter expresses some of her joys and challenges in this ministry. While the primary focus isn't teaching religion (she is not sponsored by a religious organization), nevertheless she uses opportunities as a lay person to share the hope that lives in her. Especially sensitive is how faith is shared. The Malians have had Islam forced on them, thus the need for understanding and patience in one's witness.
