A Meatless America?

“Can you buy meat in America?” my friend asked. “Of course,” I replied, “Why couldn’t we?” “Well, I have never seen any American eat meat before.” Serving as a student missionary at the time, I chuckled silently to myself, thinking about what Americans would do if they could not get…

Slowly Becoming a Believer

“In America, there are many Christians, right?” my language teacher, T, asked me one day before we started our lesson. My teacher is in her early 20s. She is from the target people group that I have been trying to find a way to live among. During our lessons, she…
