Merry Christmas! I pray that you are having a wonderful holiday with family and friends. This week we'll be running a GREAT interview with Christine Jeske. She talked about her book Into the Mud and micro-missions.
More about Christine: Christine Jeske has spent seven years working in microfinance, refugee resettlement,
development, and holistic missions with her husband Adam. Their journeys have taken them from Wisconsin to Nicaragua, China, and South Africa where she most recently taught at the Evangelical Seminary of Southern Africa and for Eastern University. Christine’s work has appeared in a number of publications in both the United States and South Africa, including Relevant Magazine, Neue Quarterly, MomSense, Overland Journal, and The Lookout. She and Adam have two children. They currently live in Madison, Wisconsin. Find out more about Christine and her book at the Into the Mud website: http://www.intothemud.com/
Into The Mud takes readers behind the headlines, into real stories of real people living neck-deep in some of Africa’s most difficult issues — but with hands, minds, and hearts rooted in God’s kingdom. Each of its interwoven stories and related discussion questions addresses a broader issue of missions and development, including: evangelism, literacy and education, microfinance, health services, urbanization and refugee assistance, and more. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help readers to apply lessons from the chapters to their own ministry contexts.
Where the world sees despair, author Christine Jeske sees God writing stories of hope. Study groups, development students, mission teams, and everyday activists alike will be challenged by her stories to enter more deeply into the thick of life’s mud.
