Our guest today on the podcast is Debbie Greisen. After being raised on the mission field of Hong Kong, she began her journey teaching grade school in Australia, the Marshall Islands, Africa, and the Middle East. Debbie adopted both of her daughters from China while teaching overseas. Upon moving to the United States, Debbie continued teaching in Washington state until her recent retirement. But retirement hasn't slowed Debbie down, and she shares with us about the challenges of engaging the culture and the encouragement the Colson Fellows program has been in that journey.
