Canceled due to COVID-19 outbreak

The objective of the ethnic church visit is to provide an immersive cross-cultural experience with fellow believers who are from a different culture and speak a different language. This experience and the subsequent debrief and reflection will provide greater awareness of the challenges new missionaries face in participating in the life of a church in another culture.

1. Experience some of the emotions and dynamics of being a part of a worship service in another language and a different cultural context.
2. Reflect on what was observed and experienced and draw some conclusions about how this experience can inform and prepare us for fellowshipping with churches in our host cultures.

• Ethnic Church Debrief
• Participant Observation as a Culture Learning Tool
