What is cross cultural ministry?
What is cross cultural ministry? Most people lump cross cultural ministry into “missions” and then leave the work of this ministry to “missionaries.”
Although missions very much involves crossing cultural boundaries in big ways, you don’t have to go far in this day to bring the gospel to the nations.
Cross your street and you’re probably crossing a cultural boundary. The Asian neighbor who speaks broken English or the black man (or white! depending) with a different culture and worldview than what you grew up with - these are all examples of backyard cross cultural ministry that must and should be happening.
You may be the witness God placed in an international student’s life to grab hold of a faith in Jesus Christ and take a revelation of God home to an area you may never be able to enter.
Missions still has its place in the world - but your involvement in cross cultural ministry is absolutely vital to the task of seeing nations worshiping God. -Laura Woodworth
