While preparing for this adventure, I was told this was not going to be an ordinary mission trip. We would not build houses or schools. However, we would be building relationships, my forte.

David Livermore’s Leading with Cultural Intelligence, Peter Engardio’s Chindia, and Steven Rundle’s Great Commision Companies; The emerging role of Business in Missions.

home country is Chile and she had been wanting to go back and visit It with us. During the summer that year my parents and my grandparents prepared a trip to go visit. As a child just hearing the word vacation would excite me, but I wasn’t prepared for the trials I would face when we would arrive in Chile.
