I've been reading lately about cross cultural ministry, in retrospect I probably should have been reading up before I came here. I just wrapped up my first book and what I got out of it and what I mentioned in my last post is that the language of Jesus crosses all cultural boundaries. Serena and I both taught a session of sunday school this morning and this is what we learned. Culturally the children are different here, they are more shy and less interactive but we overcame these obstacles. Our ministry here isn't fancy. We have no smoke and very few mirrors. For children's ministry we don't worry about being edgy in any way, for worship we don't worry about different camera angles. In fact, here they don't even worry about instruments! haha.
I pray that Serena and I achieve what we came here to do. That is to bless this church and come back changed. I already know there's no way I can ever come back the same, I just hope we can impact this church.
