For twenty years I THOUGHT THAT GOD WAS LEADING me to China. This came from no special vision. It was simply logical. My life was shaped by this aim. But I never got to China. By the time I finished my formal studies, the bamboo curtain had descended."

Much to her surprise, Ada Lum ended up on an adventure that would take her from Hawaii to Hong Kong to Pakistan to Brazil to London and back to Hawaii again. She has seen God's work in many countries and cultures, and has written a book as lively as she is.

With wit and wisdom, Lum focuses on who missionaries should be, and what they should and shouldn't do. Along the way she discusses how to make disciples across cultures, how to get along with your boss and coworkers, how to deal with singleness and how to move on to a new ministry.

In this book she challenges and encourages all who would consider God's call anywhere.

Ada Lum is the author of Jesus the Life Changer and How to Begin an Evangelistic Bible Study. For many years a staff member with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Stu-dents, she continues her worldwide ministry from her home base in Honolulu.
