This book is a survival manual for cross-cultural ministry, it is designed to help get the maximum impact from a short-term contact. Mission leaders are using it as an effective orientation tool for equipping both short-term personnel and career missionaries. The insights that are found between these covers can help anyone relate better to other races and cultures. "I give copies to all new and short term missionaries who come to Ecuador with OMS International. I would recommend it to anyone who is preparing for a "Latin experience."

It should be required reading for all those whom God leads to participate on missions teams." Daniel F Senf, Team Leader Presto Products: Geosystems Global Sales & Marketing Manager "It gives a true picture of the "ups" and "downs" of cross cultural experience . . .
