Hey Michaela,
I really appreciate you putting things into perspective by first helping us understand that it is crucial for us to know how our brothers and sisters in the near east view us, especially if we feel called to the region.
I also really appreciate towards the end you draw the reader into understanding that it is only when we realize and apologies for our past can we truly share the love of christ to these people in a new and fresh way.
Thankyou for your post.
