Abstract
The author's father, an African-American, fostered an awareness of Africa in church and in the family's daily life. Early experiences of hospitality toward Liberian and Nigerian friends instilled a sense of Christian mission and a love for Africa. The author traveled to Sudan with Operation Crossroads (OCA) in 1983, after graduating from Yale Divinity School, and she learned valuable lessons about interfaith respect, cross-cultural cooperation, and the importance of those attributes to authentic Christian mission and witness. She served again with OCA twice, in Lesotho. Her OCA experiences gave her a foundational framework for effective community organizing and leadership.
