Crossing Cultures Memoir

Blue sky

Images of blue sky and a raging torrent of destruction fill my screen in recent days. 

Bringing back memories. 

There was blue sky when a tsunami roared into Aceh. Then pulled out. Taking with it precious lives along with whole buildings.

Today these scenes are not a coastal city, but a mountain haven. 

Nepal. Villages built along the meandering river wiped out in a matter of minutes.

Crossing Cultures Making Disciples

Gospel clarity

Speaking the gospel with clarity is necessary. Crossing cultures, we learn to think about the way we share. So that it’s understood.

Distorted perceptions of the gospel put up barriers. Foster misleading rumors. Confusing those who live in spiritual darkness. Sometimes for generations.

One volunteer team encountered a false perception as they provided disaster relief.
