At the Edge of the Village by Lisa Leidenfrost

A memoir of missionary life in Ivory Coast, West Africa, compiled from letters Lisa Leidenfrost sent home to her church over more than sixteen years on the mission field with her husband Csaba, a Wycliffe Bible translator to the Bakwe people. With humor, honesty, and genuine spiritual warmth, Leidenfrost describes the ordinary and extraordinary experiences of raising a family on the mission field—from cultural differences and daily challenges to the joys and trials of seeing the gospel at work in a remote community.
