Three Years in Afghanistan: An American Family's Story of Faith, Endurance, and Love
Afghanistan is a land of conflict and massive human needs, but it is much more than that. A place of veiled beauty, its people are resilient with deeply held traditions, generous hospitality, and a sense of leeriness toward the West. In the summer of 2004, humanitarian aid worker Matthew Collins, his wife Christine, and their one-year-old daughter Ellie moved to Afghanistan. This memoir describes their first three years trying to make a difference in this incredible country. From harrowing moments of danger, to light-hearted and heartbreaking cultural encounters, they learn to overcome the challenges of fear and culture shock through faith, endurance, and love.
Matthew Collins is the pen name for a Christian aid worker originally from Texas. He has a master’s degree in intercultural studies and extensive experience in international development work. Matthew has traveled in more than 70 countries, but fell in love with the Afghan people.
