From Africa associate editor Julie Smyth on this week’s story on the Iran war and Kenyan tea farmers: Though I have edited pieces about Africa for a while, I hadn’t realized Kenya’s economy leaned so heavily on tea and coffee exports. Stories about social or ethical issues tend to catch my eye more than strictly economic ones do, so Moses’ article about the Iran conflict’s impact on Kenyan tea growers stood out—the categories clearly overlapped. Still, economic data can sound dull. |

As Moses and I shaped his article, we asked, "How can we make this more human?" We had to decide which industry numbers provided context and which were just plain boring. We also shifted interviews away from industry leaders and more toward those most at risk—small-time farmers and day laborers. I like the way it turned out, but then I’m whatever the tea version of a foodie is. |

Throughout Scripture, God calls his people to be faithful and steadfast as we abide in him. Isaiah reminds us our faithfulness is fleeting "like the flowers of the field," yet our hope is secure when we place it in God, so our strength is renewed (Isa. 40:6, 31). In this issue, we consider stories of resilience. Historian Thomas S. Kidd shares missionary Adoniram Judson’s hardship and fortitude in Burma (now Myanmar). Emily Belz reports on Minnesota churches today that are supporting persecuted Karen Christians, also from Myanmar. Haleluya Hadero reports on groups who are determined to help Gary, Indiana, achieve a more resilient future. We also consider Tish Harrison Warren’s new book and feature an interview with her. Rooted in the person of Jesus Christ, Christian resilience is about more than having grit or bouncing back. |
