Introducing The Global Citizen: Editor's Comment
Aaron Ausland
The Krista Foundation for Global Citizenship has sponsored the creation of The Global Citizen to provide a place for an intergenerational exploration of these questions. In particular, we hope to gather together and share specific experiences and reflections from those who are engaging global issues like poverty, race/culture/gender friction, and environmental stress. The majority of our contributors are young Christian activists who have chosen a path of service for the love and hope of humanity and the planet. "Veteran" global citizens, who model ways for living a lifelong ethic of service, have been invited to contribute their experience and wisdom as well.

Letter from the Editors
Jack Brace, Aaron Ausland
If travel and service are important to the development of leaders who engage society with a sense of civic responsibility, and this in turn helps to build the social capital required for healthy democratic governance and for societies to function well, then the Krista Foundation is doing very well to support young adults who commit themselves to significant periods of travel and service. This edition of the Global Citizen contains eight articles written by “Krista Colleagues” – service volunteers who have received support from the foundation. Their topics range widely, but each article provides a window into the transformative process of which Dr. Hunt writes. Each author grapples with a unique set of issues brought to the surface as they served others in a new place.

Letter from the Editor

In this, our fourth edition of The Global Citizen, we have arranged a collection of essays from young service volunteers who have learned rich lessons in the field school of service and global citizenship. We know that an essay is no substitute for personal experience and that many of these lessons can only be truly learned the hard way. So consider this a sort of companion reader for the curriculum of experience as a service volunteer and life as a global citizen.
