101: Tips for Cultural Transitions (with John Trotter)


Listen Later

Making a cross-cultural transition can be intimidating and overwhelming. John Trotter of Global Frontier Missions walks us through a number of tips for entering a new place and navigating cultural adaptation.

  • Global Frontier Missions
  • Reflecting Jesus in the City: Christlike Ministry in Urban Immigrant Context by John Trotter
  • “It doesn’t matter how much you know or how good you are with community development or evangelism; if your heart’s not in a good place, you’re not ready to go to the field.”
  • “Integrated mission is starting with Jesus as Lord and then it’s springing up from there.”
  • “When you’re crossing a culture, you’re not really an expert on anything.”
  • “We can tend to bond with the people who look and sound a lot like us rather than bond with the very people [we’re] living among.”
  • Exegeting the city: Slow down to use your five senses to explore the city.
  • “It’s really hard to go back and reintroduce yourself to a community.”

What’s changing our lives:

  • Keane: Rediscovering board games
  • Heather: Co-working with friends
  • John: His role with Global Frontier Missions and Bop-It
