As a wife and mom, Ann Deckert’s first priority has always been her family. And the family home has been her primary venue for hospitality and lively discussion, especially during her time in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and other shorter term residences abroad. After her family had settled in well, God directed Ann toward stimulating part- or full-time teaching positions in each new place, which provided her with the most natural ways to engage with people and cultures.
