Of course, missionaries are always talking about culture. How to adapt to the culture, what they find different in the culture, weaknesses and strengths in the culture. Usually, it’s not bad – it’s just different, as we always used to tell mission teams that we trained. But we always wrestle with it and try to see it as Jesus does. For your reading pleasure, here is an assortment of some recent culture-related posts:

Hey, what about doing a round-up from missionaries who comment on what is going on in their countries with regard to the World Cup. I know I am planning on putting some pictures up and making some observations. I am sure I am not the only one.

It’s a good idea. Actually, I hadn’t even noticed this comment when I did the next entry. It may not have been exactly what you were thinking, but it’s a start.
