The Lighter Side of a Serious Mission
There is so much in life that we have to take seriously, so why not laugh whenever you get the chance! Do you know how to use a Squatty Potty? Would it be unnerving if your taxi driver, during a traffic jam, crossed the median to make his own lane against oncoming traffic? Have you ever rented an apartment and later had some of the landlord s family move in with you unannounced? The Lighter Side of a Serious Mission will make you laugh out loud, as a missionary takes you through unbelievable and humorous escapades of cross-cultural living in the former Soviet Union! And by the end, you ll get a chance to reflect on the seriousness of the mission in Ukraine, as well as in your own personal world.
Kenyon Powers' 12 years in Ukraine has given her a wealth of sights, sounds and smells to share with her readers. "The Lighter Side..." offers a refreshing perspective on the triumphs, trials and tribulations of an ordinary missionary mother and wife doing her best to just get through every day with her sanity intact."
Brian Birdsall - Director, Campus Crusade for Christ- Ukraine
"I have known Kenyon for nearly two decades and I honestly cannot imagine any other person on the planet relaying, 'The Lighter Side of a Serious Mission.' Kenyon's outlook on seemingly ordinary situations and her humorous stories provide just the medicine, God prescribes, for us to carry out the serious missions we face everyday as we fulfill His plan on earth."
