Crossing Cultures Making Disciples Memoir

This is why

“I think this is why I’m here.”

We heard it more than once in Karachi. From expatriates on short assignments. With various companies. Consulates. Schools. 

They heard about the international church meeting in our house. And came on Fridays for worship. Cross-cultural living in this “hardship assignment” made them stop and consider what’s crucial. In light of eternity.

Myrna* was one of those. The religious environment in Pakistan made her more aware of spiritual things. 

When asked about her faith, Myrna replied, “I’ve always been a Christian.”

Verse for the year

Approaching October. In a year that beats all. And it occurs to me. I can’t remember this year’s verse. 

Typically, I ask the Lord if there’s a verse to focus on throughout the year.

And I write the chosen verse out. Meditate on it. Consider applications along the way. Note similar themes in daily Bible readings that year.

Today, I’m searching. It’s September. And no 2020 verse is written on my spiral-bound notecards. What?

My verse for 2017 with notes, on a spiral-bound notecard.
