We have a very eclectic mix of posts today, from all over the world.  Some have great insights into culture, others talk about ministry opportunities, and others challenges that missionaries are facing.  Check them out!

• Glimpse of Romania:  We traveled again to Gherla, Romania, this last weekend. The trip takes between four and six hours, depending on traffic and stops, so we had lots of time to take pictures. We see…
