Welcome to Africa

For many foreigners, Africa may feel like a different world. Customs, expectations, and even church activities are very different. While there is opportunity for rich friendships to develop, there is also the possibility of miscommunication and misunderstanding. This booklet aims to help you understand the cultures you will encounter and navigate new situations. Much of the guidance in this booklet applies specifically to the East Africa region. Yet, while we acknowledge the tribal, national, and regional differences in culture throughout Africa, a good deal of the content of this book may still prove useful to foreigners visiting anywhere in this beautiful continent.
