The Earless Man from Chile: Mission Stories of Healing and Resilience

As a third-generation missionary, Elena Huegel is an adult "Third Culture Kid," someone who spent a significant part of her life outside her parents' culture. Elena's experiences as a missionary in Paraguay and Chile provide the stories in The Earless Man from Chile. Testimonies of faith from the Pentecostal Church of Chile and Shalom Center are at turns humorous, tragic, and inspiring, particularly in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. Elena's own spiritual growth challenges us to heal relationships with God, ourselves, each other, and all of creation. These stories are part of an endless thread connecting the teller and the reader to create new possibilities for healing and resilience.
