In 2012, Jonathan & Elizabeth Trotter traded their suburban American life for a much hotter urban life in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Through a series of unplanned happenings, they ended up writing for the well-known missions sites A Life Overseas and Velvet Ashes. In addition to writing, Elizabeth serves as the editor-in-chief at A Life Overseas. She also homeschools their four children. Jonathan serves as a pastoral counselor at a member care center in Phnom Penh. They both serve on the pastoral team at an international church.
This book contains a curated look at their words, culled from several websites and articles. May these words guide and encourage you as you seek to live all for One (A-41).
