From The Village To The Ends Of The Earth

Children having fun in the jungle pairs well with the hard work on the mission field.

In this sequel to At the End of the Village, Lisa Leidenfrost describes life in her village in Cote d’ Ivoire. Although there are exciting stories about the local witch doctor and escaping from a civil war, life as a missionary is often surprisingly normal. Family life need not be crowded out by frenetic translation schedules and fundraising furloughs. Whether it’s the humorous cultural differences in hospitality or courtship, or the kids’ adventures with driver ants, snakes, bees, a bushbaby, or a parrot, From the Village to the Ends of the Earth shows what it is like to raise a family while building the kingdom of God in Africa.
