The author of The Accidental Missionary intended for these letters to be read as a weekly blog by a few Christians who had covenanted with the author to pray for his work. Due to the candor of sharing with close acquaintances, the letters are often bombastic. For this volume, the author changed most names (including his own). While they may lack a filter, the letters make up for themselves in a love for students and a total dependence on God. The Accidental Missionary will warm your heart and just maybe give you a few cooking tips along the way.
Andrew Pavlopetri and his family moved to a small town in Ohio so that their daughter could attend a classical Christian school. Two weeks into the academic year, the school's logic teacher resigned, and the head of the school asked Andrew to take over that teaching position. Although he had not been a "professional" teacher beforehand, he quickly adapted to teaching pre-algebra, humanities, science, and logic. Three semesters later, an opportunity arose to teach Chinese high school students in the U.S. Commonwealth of Saipan. He would start in the middle of the school year teaching four subjects he'd never taught before, as well as teaching accelerated school (a year of high school content in one semester) while growing into the role of being a teacher and senior high counselor. Mr. Pavlopetri's role as a missionary was, in every sense of the word, accidental.
