  Once you have completed perusing this website and answering
the questions…upload on your Posterous iFolio and reflect on the
following prompts:

o What did you learn about the countries of Asia?

* I learned that there is a lot of big problems. And certain
people are degraded. I learned that only certain religions
are accepted and it is very difficult to be a Christian. Not
very many people know that God truly cares and loves
them so much. And things are very dirty and there are a lot
of people who are not educated about hygiene and
different things like that.

o How are the countries of Asia similar to those

studied in Africa?
* They are similar by very little people do not know Christ
and his love for them. They both don’t have the right tools
and knowledge about hygiene and how you can have good
hygiene. Christianity isn’t very welcome at other places.
And both places can be very degrading to certain types of
people.
