Amy Young, viral communicator and veteran of eighteen years in China, guides you through the maze of your first year on the field. With storytelling and research, she offers encouragement, practical tips, and plenty of humor to help you navigate the unexpected cultural, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual aspects you'll face.Getting Started enables you to glean from those who have gone before you, to stay close to God, and to grow in cultural knowledge-all the while flourishing in fulfilling your call.
