This week there has been a couple speaking about church planting in different cultures. They worked in Chiapas, the state next to Oaxaca in Mexico, for 40 years. It has been a great week so far listening to them and having some time to speak to them alone.
Something To Every Tribe Ministries teaches much on is learning the culture and language before you can go into an area and speak into the lives of the people. If we want to convey the message of the Gospel so they understand, we need to know them well. Michele and I have been growing in understanding of the Spanish language and culture.
The following video is a joke about what it is like to speak in American phrases and how other cultures don't really have translations of our ideas. Enjoy this video but also please pray more and more for Michele and me as we are learning and growing in understanding of the Spanish language and Mexican culture!
Enjoy!

That was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Laughed like crazy. Funny but sadly this could be true if we don't understand the culture.
