Crossing Cultures Memoir

Unexpected surrender

Unexpected surrender started with an invitation. Out of the blue. To consider a role in the U.S. 

And our immediate thought? No. Can’t be right. Our calling is cross-cultural. Among the nations. 

Besides, we weren’t ready to leave South Asia and her people. The place had wrestled its way into our hearts.

Then another ask came. To focus on megacities in South Asia. Surely that’s the one, we thought. Fits our heart and skill set. New city. Same area of the world.

Uninvited fears

Uninvited fears press against the window. 

And slip in through the cracks.

Seeping into the throng of thoughts populating our minds. 

Hitching themselves to “what if’s” and “why’s” and “how’s.”

All we need

We have all we need. 

For life. Godliness. And walking by faith in this day and age.

We’re given His Spirit. God’s Word. Prayer. The fellowship of believers. 

Every advantage.
