Interpreting the City - Buenos Aires

Elisabeth Kingsley

“Interpreting the City has been highly beneficial to my education by exposing me to political and social systems very different from my own. It has allowed me to see God moving in another culture. I have been able to see God's love and power in the faces of people whose language I cannot speak.”
