Mac 2010 - Ministering Across Cultures
What stresses me out? How do I react? Do other people really
function differently than I do? What do I do if I have a conflict
with a person from another culture? Going to MAC helped me answer
these questions and more. In order to be able to serve people from
another culture the best we can, we first need to have an
understanding of how we ourselves work as individuals and as members
of our home culture. Then we need to realize that not everyone is
like us and that different is just different, and not necessarily
wrong. We need to be incarnational in our ministry and not
imperialistic. So much depends on how we approach and react to
situations. When you go to MAC you'll learn about red-lining and
green-lining. If you on the green line, you're open, willing to
learn and able to respond with grace. But, if you're red lining and
can let yourself see past your own nose, things will be a lot more
difficult. I have both green-lined and red-lined here in Costa Rica
and I will tell you from my own experience that red-lining
complicates the situation for everyone (ie sucks) and life is much
better when I'm on the green. Head for the green line, go to MAC in
2010!
