Description
Duane Elmer explores how Western missionaries can be more effective in cross-cultural ministry by avoiding actions that communicate superiority. He argues that unintentional insults often result from well-intentioned but misguided approaches. Elmer offers practical advice for serving other cultures with sensitivity and humility, drawing on his expertise as a cross-cultural specialist. He examines the ways in which actions and attitudes can contradict and offend local culture, and provides guidance for building relationships that honor others. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in international ministry, whether embarking on a short-term mission trip or serving overseas for extended periods.
