#144 Going on mission without leaving home
With Dr Shari Falkenheimer
Missions is not geographic, but cross-cultural. God is bringing the nations to us so that we can reach out to them where we live and work. They may be more open to the gospel while out of their own cultural setting. Many are never in a Christian’s home while in their new country and are intensely lonely. God put us near them to love them, help them adjust to our culture, and to share our lives, our testimonies and the gospel with them.
