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.”

Still

In the bare bones
of a waking day, 
I sit.

Still. 

War and rumors of war advancing.
Overtaking.

Still. With the Word and prayer.

Seasons change

Trees. Luminous in the forest. As the dying begins. 

Letting go. Piece by piece. Leaf by leaf. 

Orange. Yellow. Red. 

Beautiful. And certain. 

Seasons change.
