"Ethnocentrism is the tendency of people to judge the behavior and objects of another culture by the values and assumptions of their own culture rather than by those of the culture to which they now belong." Oh Lord, develop in us a humility and a teachability to become both bilingual and bicultural. No small task.
This past week not only included sessions with such profound teaching but our first immunization clinic. We were lucky to only have two shots - rabies and polio booster. This week though I think we will be getting four. Though we don't like shots - who does? - we are thankful that we are in a generation in which the immunizations are available. How many of past generations died soon after reaching their places of service because of a lack of immunization?!
This week we are looking at chronological storying. I am really excited about these sessions.
Pray for us this week that we will be as sponges absorbing insights into new tools to share the Gospel.
Happy Birthday to our daughter Deborah who turned 22 on February 25th.
