Rob Burns is a pastor in Detroit at Detroit Chinese Alliance Church and has also served as a missionary in the Balkans. Today, Rob shares his story of his calling into cross-cultural ministry both overseas and in the United States. Rob and I go way back to his seminary days. At the time, I was in college and we worked together. He remembers my wife bringing us brownies. I remember him as an astute critic and observer of events and one of the best conversationalists in the world. To have a conversation with Rob means you’ll walk away smarter and with much to think about.

Hope you enjoy his story and the conversation!

Great quotes from Rob:

“God’s too big to be held in a book.” quoting Bruce Cockburn

Christ speaks to every culture and belongs to every culture.

When I’m in those [hard] moments, I respond to duty.

Don’t be bashful about following Him.
