  1. Do you feel her anger is justified? Why or why not?
  2. In that kind of situation, was it right for the soldiers to kill the men in order to save the people of the village—and, in that moment, Cynthia—or should they have found a different way? Why?

    When we first meet Rick, he is a praying man but also a leader in battle. He has a firefight with the Chukuwereije rebels, and later he wishes the mission capturing Khalil had “a little more finality to it.”

  3. Do you think this dichotomy fits? Can a praying man fight in a battle where he is directly responsible for the death of the enemy? Why or why not?
  4. Do you think Christ’s words about loving our enemies mean that we should not fight in a war? Explain.
  5. In Matthew 24:6, Christ says that there will always be wars and rumors of wars but that we should not be troubled by them. Does that mean we should not be engaged with them as well? Why or why not?

    We live in a fallen, broken world. Though Katangela is fictional, there are countries where state-sponsored violence, rape, torture, destruction, starvation, and misery exist.

  6. Do we have an obligation to ease the suffering by confronting that evil like Rick and his team do, or is our obligation only to nurture those who are suffering, as Cynthia and her team do?

    The first commandment with a promise is to honor your father and mother so that your days will be long upon the earth (Exod. 20:12). Cynthia’s father tells her that she will have to leave Katangela just as they arrive at an event, as if knowing she’d avoid making a scene.

  7. Do you think he is at fault for forcing her hand in a situation where he knew she’d honor him even if she was angry? Why or why not?
  8. Did that situation warrant dishonoring her parents? Explain.

    Rick is drawn to Cynthia, but Bill believes that because her father is the vice president of the United States, she outclasses the two of them.

  9. Do you think that is a viable excuse? How does that perception work inside the body of Christ?

    Cynthia breaks up with Rick because she had firsthand knowledge of the violence and danger he faced in doing his job. She was willing to sacrifice her future happiness rather than live with that knowledge while waiting for him to return from missions.

  10. Do you think she underestimated God’s ability to show how He could work it all out? Do you think His hand was in it all along, paving the way for her to see what she needed to do with her own career first?

    Cynthia’s time in Africa changed her. Seeing the poverty and need there made her opulent life much less attractive, to the point that she no longer felt the desire to minister to the wealthy in her aunt’s practice.

  11. Has anything you’ve experienced completely shifted your perspective about your quality of lifestyle? If so, what was it?
  12. What in your life could be sacrificed for you to turn around and minister to those in need in your community?
