Duane Elmer asked people around the world how they felt about
Western missionaries. The response? "Missionaries could be more
effective if they did not think they were better than us." The last
thing we want to do in cross-cultural ministry is to offend people
in other cultures. Unfortunately, all too often and even though we
don't mean it, our actions communicate superiority, paternalism,
imperialism and arrogance. Our best intentions become unintentional
insults. How can we minister in ways that are received as true
Christlike service? Cross-cultural specialist Duane Elmer gives
Christians practical advice for serving other cultures with
sensitivity and humility. With careful biblical exposition and keen
cross-cultural awareness, he shows how our actions and attitudes
often contradict and offend the local culture. He offers principles
and guidance for avoiding misunderstandings and building
relationships in ways that honor others. Here is culturally-savvy
insight into how we can follow Jesus' steps to become global
servants. Whether you're going on your first short-term mission
trip or ministering overseas for extended periods, this useful
guide is essential reading for anyone who wants to serve
effectively in international settings with grace and sensitivity.
