IMPACT

I had the opportunity to take part in Mission Prep’s “IMPACT” course online. It was a 2-week intensive course for cross-cultural workers that covered cultural perspectives, spiritual perspectives and personal/interpersonal dynamics.

Some highlights of the learning for me were:

• Applying practical skills in delaying developing opinions when observing a new culture (ex: conscious recognition of biases, developing questions that consider other possibilities, slowing down opinion making).

• Stress coping techniques (1. Change the situation, 2. Change the meaning of the situation, 3. Apply techniques that manage stress).

• God’s primary call on our lives is not that we do for Him, rather that we live with Him.

We are so thankful for all of your prayer support. It has been such an encouragement to us to know that so many people around the world are praying for us in our ministry and family life.

God bless you,
