Contents: "This book is written in response to the many people who asked me to write about experiences as Volunteers in Mission, and to those who enjoyed my Faith and Works columns each month in the 'Algoma Anglican' and our News and Views from Tanzania newsletters. While I have incorporated some of this material into this book, most of this account has not been told in previous articles. There is no shortage of stories to tell; the problem is selecting some and discarding others." -- Preface.
