Kristin and her husband Jon have worked in Korea, Saipan, and Ecuador. Missionaries and other overseas workers are not the only people concerned with raising bi-cultural kids. But deeper than this, all Christians who seriously seek to live according to the values of the kingdom of God find ourselves with the imperative to raise bi-cultural kids. Scripture teaches that our real situation in this world, as children of the kingdom, is as pilgrims and sojourners. Apparently we're not supposed to get too attached.
Green people understand the tension.
