Introduction

This book is written for every Christian who has moved or is about to move locally or internationally from his or her local habitat and desires to grow and be nurtured in the word of God. The idea about the book started when I found myself outside my country, exposed to a new and different culture, away from the watching eyes of my church, pastor, and Christian friends. Moving to a different country or location is a frequent human experience. There are countless reasons people change location. These could be due to economic reasons: as a result of jobs or careers or for educational purposes; or as a result of marriage, just to mention a few.

Whatever the reason, it is easy for people to slip away and get lost in the crowd as one joins the music of the new world: the people and culture you come to live with. What I want to achieve here is to try to suggest ways to keep one's faith in Christ and continue to grow despite being in a strange and unfamiliar environment. The book covers such topics as: Growing in our Christian faith, how do we grow? Growing in prayers, environment for growth, challenges to growth, growing in grace, and God the Master Planner.
