The author, Bob Prouty, spent six years in Zaire, Africa. For five of those years, he was principal of the School of Pedagogy at the Institute de Lukanga.
In a unique style, Bob Prouty tells of some of his experiences during those six special years. In relating the experiences, he shows his sense of humor—a characteristic greatly needed by anyone, especially a missionary, who goes from his homeland to a country foreign to him and with a vastly different culture.
