If God told me to live long term in a cross-cultural setting, the country I would choose...
It appears to be India now, and the Lord has given me peace about continuing to serve Him in this place. I enjoy the simple life, diversity, and being a small part of meeting the greatest need of us all: love. India is a beautiful country in many different ways, especially when you look at through the eyes of Jesus.
