Tuk-tuks, Whiteboards, and Sticky Rice - Daniel Whetham

Laos: mysterious, isolated, backpacker must-see, cultural melting pot, wonder of nature, or immersive experience into Buddhism? Tuk Tuks, Whiteboards and Sticky Rice is an invitation to join a teacher and his family as they seek to live out the life of faith in a beautiful and needy country. What is like to live in a far-away land among people with dramatically different languages, belief systems, and thought processes from your own? What are some ways of integrating teaching, family life, and daily routines with culturally relevant and sensitive witness to the God who offers good news for all people? What are some of the challenges and joys of trying to connect and share life with people from all strands of society? Tuk Tuks, Whiteboards and Sticky Rice is an encouragement for all who wonder how God can partner with ordinary people, everyday routines, and even mistakes to draw people closer to Him. It is for all who long to witness cross-culturally through their vocation, particularly for teachers, but also those concerned with South East Asian people from Buddhist backgrounds.
