Cross Cultural Training and More Updates

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death." Philippians 2:5-8 NIV

"The missionary is an ordinary person, called by God, to do an extraordinary task."

The CCT session we went to today was phenomenal. In talking about the profile of a missionary, Fred Jones told us it was about growing spiritually. That's the main purpose, in addition to being committed, creative to do things you've never done before, to learn, to be non-judgemental, non-territorial, flexible, to love people, to work at communicating, and be be submissive to the Lord through leadership. Tons of food for thought about being on a mission for God.

Another topic was dealing with culture. Your culture shapes your world view. Culture determines our behavior, our values, our beliefs, and our world view (how you see yourself and how you interpret the actions of others). One motto to take away is Be FAT (Be Flexible, Adaptable, and Teachable!)

Coming soon...meet the team and actual architectural drawings!
