You are never more like Jesus than when you cross cultures to serve others. That is because Jesus crossed the greatest cultural gulf ever when He voluntarily left His heavenly throne and took on human form to meet our greatest need.

Before leaving earth He instructed His followers to go and disciple all peoples. This study is designed especially for those on short-term trips across cultural boundaries. Commit to framing each day with Scripture and spending regular time with your Redeemer. Observe the people you have come to serve—and those who are already there serving for the long term.
