Last weekend a couple serving in East Africa had a WOW moment. As they drank tangerine juice and ate paneer chapatis and chicken chapati wraps served with three sauces (hot, sizzling hot, and scorching hot) they realized they were the only people in the packed restaurant with green or blue eyes! Next came a realization that over half the diners wore clothing different from theirs, with many men wearing white, grey or black tunics (long shirt like garments) and women in black robes over their clothing and black or colorful scarves covering their hair. The husband asked: "How boring would our lives be if all the people around us looked like us?" Their next reaction: Praising God for allowing them to serve in East Africa, where so many People Groups come together, providing amazing opportunities to serve as our Father's Heart, Hands and Voice!
