The commentary "Until Things Fall Apart," by Julienne Gage (July-August 1996), was very personal to me. I grew up the son of missionaries to Kenya and still regard it as my home.
The situation in Kenya is one that has slowly decayed. After reading the article, I wanted to cry for "my" country. I have watched this decline for many years with the constantly nagging question of what I could do to make a difference.
