Shaping Spiritual Formation: How Cross-Cultural Missions serves as a Crucible…Parts I & II
The webinar explores appropriate responses to these questions: Why do some missionaries become godly saints and effective leaders, while others plateau, burn-out and drop-out? What are the global realities and cross-cultural distinctives contributing to the crucible experience which impact the effectiveness of missionaries living in other cultures? What might be a more helpful way of looking at and understanding a typical cross-cultural sojourn so as to better prepare our missionaries for this journey?
