Connection
A connection that I can make from Peace Child to myself would be that I am going on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic in a few months. Even though it's not the same as moving to a foreign country, with a completely new language, and with people who want to kill you, it's important to still have the same mindset as the missionaries to went to these tribes in New Guinea. Similar to Don Richardson (author), when our group goes on the missions trip we need to be ready to serve the people there, and trust God for what will happen. In the next section of Peace Child, Don Richardson sacrifices everything to go talk to one of the tribes and start to build a "house" for his family. Luckily, he trusts God and he is able to make some new friends who help him to build his "house" and prepare to start living among these tribes.

That is very exciting that you are going on a missions trip Dominican Republic, I thought the connection you made was perfect because even though you aren't risking your life as much as they are, you are still doing the same thing and trusting God as you go somewhere new with new people.
