If you get an opportunity to serve a people group that will take you out of your comfort zone. DO IT! Today I am continuing the 21 things we learned on the mission field with 8-14 below: I wrote 1-7 here in a previous post
8) That being American can be a doorway to conversations that can easily be pointed towards matters of faith.
9) The Gospel transcends cultures and geographical boundaries and has the same power to save.
10) That the freedom of religion we have enjoyed all of our lives has afforded us knowledge and experience in God that many in the world do not have the freedom to enjoy.
11) That there are entire regions of people that are Godless and have been scarred by abusive governments and false religion.
12) That all showers don’t have shower curtains.
13) That just because you are using terms like God, Church, faith, and Jesus doesn’t mean that it communicates to their cultural experience. You can be talking, but not communicating.
14) That we have a responsibility to go into all the world and teach all nations. Much has been given to us and much is required. Comfortable Christianity does not fulfill the great commission.
I'll continue tomorrow with 15-21 (Click here). If you get an opportunity to serve a people group that will take you out of your comfort zone. DO IT!
