In 1975 there was nothing reasonable about the road-trip Dad proposed. Much of it would be on rugged, unpaved tracks where services and spare parts were unavailable. If we had mechanical trouble we would, for the most part, have to deal with it ourselves. Should we have an accident or become ill, medical facilities were few and far between. We would have no way to communicate with family or friends except by letter ? and, in many places, mail service was iffy. We would be driving through parts of the world where the population, if not actually hostile to Americans, had no great love for them. People, by the way, whose language we could not understand or speak. Unreasonable though it was, the window of opportunity to make such a trip was rapidly coming to an end. Soon, revolutions and wars would close some of the countries we traveled through. Many of the historical sites we saw would be destroyed. So, in retrospect, we made the trip at the right time.
We also made the trip at the right time in my life. I was impressionable. I was immature for my age. I was still trying to figure out who I am and what God wanted me to do with myself. It is no exaggeration to say that the trip was formative and had a major impact on my faith. It was one of the highlights of my life. I look back on it with nostalgia. I hope that you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoyed living it. To illustrate the tale, I've included 14 maps and over 120 photographs.

Person
Jonathan Turner grew up in Pakistan where his parents served as church planters. He came to his own faith in Christ through their influence and example.
After returning to the United States, Jonathan served in the church as a bi-vocational youth minister for five years. Since then he has taught numerous youth and adult classes.
In 2006 Jonathan and his wife helped plant a new congregation. In addition to his speaking and teaching, the congregation selected Jonathan to serve as one of its Elders.
Currently, Jonathan is concentrating on writing. So far, most of his books have been non-fiction ? study guides and curriculum. However, he is also starting to branch out into short stories and novels.
In addition to writing and teaching, Jonathan is actively involved in carrying on his parents' mission work. Part of that work includes speaking and teaching in the congregations his parents began.
Jonathan and his wife have been happily married for 40 years. They live in Oregon and have two grown children who are also in the Lord.
