“The [IGC experience] provides repeated opportunities to take part in the lives of people around the world and to delight in the wealth they have to offer. As we are able to treat other peoples and traditions with respect and tenderness, we too are changed” —Paul Longacre

In The Eyes of the Beholder
The West African country of Gabon, covered by 77% dense tropical rainforest is home to just over a million people. The majority, the many tribes of the Bantu people, and a small pygmy population call this place home. Half live in the capital city of Libreville, while the rest take their place in the outerlying regions of the coast and tropical rainforest. How would your perspective be different living in such a small population with dense surroundings? How do we see God when if feels like we're surrounded by our own dense forest? Tuesday we'll talk about perception and how it relates to our Christian lives.
