In this book consisting of both narrative and letters to her church, Lisa Leidenfrost shows that it also consists of the small, daily things, the quotidian experience which makes life at the edge of a village as familiar as life in America. This book features the ordinary and extraordinary, the solemn and playful, the mundane and exotic—all coming together to create a down-to-earth portrait of the Gospel at work in a family and a society.\u0026quot;}\"\u003eIn this sequel to \u003cem\u003eAt the Edge of the Village\u003c\/em\u003e, Lisa Leidenfrost describes life in her village in Côte 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, \u003cem\u003eFrom the Village to the Ends of the Earth\u003c\/em\u003e shows what it is like to raise a family while building the kingdom of God in Africa\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFrom the Book:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":769,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"\\\"Step into our world, a place of laughter and tears, trials and hopes, events captured and stories told. They are stories of life, lived out on the mission field in Africa where the hand of God is ever present in every situation. They are stories of daily events, of cultural experiences recounted, of friends loved and lost, and of trials surmounted. They are stories of bothersome situations turned to laughter as God gives us the ability to find humor in various hardships—a humor that has kept us sane over all these years. They are mostly stories of the familiar things in life, the little things that lend spice to our daily experience. Not all of missionary life is extraordinary or bizarre. Most of it is just normal, common events that unfold one day into another. And because God is good, there is a beauty in living, a purpose beyond our own mere existence that can make even the smallest things we do burst with life and meaning, laughter and delight. Too often these small, commonplace things go unnoticed unless they are caught and brought to life in words, words which become a lens that can, even if for a single moment, bring this ever-present beauty into focus.\\\" ~From the book\"}'\u003e\"When God calls a family to live overseas in a village, it also means bringing their children along too. Stories of our family are scattered throughout this book on purpose, because family life is an integral part of the “real work.” Raising our children for Christ means pouring into them daily, providing a family life that is both fun and filled with the grace and love of Christ in action. When children grow up to follow the Lord with their whole heart, they are a powerful witness for Christ.\" \u003cstrong\u003e-From the book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-extra-large\" id=\"descriptionAndDetails\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-feature-name=\"productDescription\" class=\"feature\" id=\"productDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-row feature\" data-template-name=\"productDescription\" data-feature-name=\"productDescription\" id=\"productDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small prodDescWidth\" id=\"productDescription\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-expander-partial-collapse-container\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"300\" aria-live=\"polite\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLisa Leidenfrost \u003c\/strong\u003eis a missionary wife who spent over two decades raising her four children in Côte d' Ivoire with her husband, Csaba.
