- How to help those who don't return to their home countries
About the Author
Nate
Mirza grew up in Iran's Assyrian community and entered into a personal
relationship with Christ as an international student at Cal Poly, San
Luis Obispo. On staff with The Navigators since 1961, Nate has spent
the past three decades ministering to international students and
coaching others to do the same.
"The revised Home Again is
comprehensive, relevant, and resourceful. It is a must read for those
internationals who are preparing to return to their home countries, as
well as those ministering to the internationals." - Dr. Francis Tsui, businessman and Chinese history specialist in Hong Kong
"How
I wish I had a copy of this book when I first returned to Malaysia
after being in New Zealand for eight years. Home Again should be the
training manual for all international students before returning to
their home country." - David Wong, Asia Vice President of Tupperware, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
"Nate
Mirza's second edition of Home Again hits the bull's-eye. Updated and
expanded, it is a gold mine of information, research, advice,
experience, and stories of returnees who have made the transition back
home. Nate's easy writing style makes it feel like he's sitting across
the table from you when you read. For those working with students, be
prepared to add greater depth, color, wisdom and compassion to your
ministry as you read this valuable contribution." - Bill Perry, Chief of Staff, InterFACE Ministries, Senior Pastor, Lauderdale Community Church
Home
Again is a timely expression of Nate Mirza's thoughtfulness, empathy,
and practicality in ministering among internationals. I have watched
Nate apply these principles with great success in numerous
relationships with international students. This book flows from his
lifework and his heart." - Dr. Richard Sisson, Senior Pastor, Gateway Community Church, Waunakee, Wisconsin
