ONE STEP AT A TIME
It takes time for the fruit of
cross-cultural ministry to be seen,
however each day, our teams are
taking faithful steps towards the shared
vision of vibrant faith communities.
We continue to pray for more workers,
more branches of the True Vine, to
partner with God in sharing the Good
News with the least-reached. So we are
asking you to keep your eyes open for
more workers for the harvest. You might
be sitting next to someone at church
who God is calling to cross-cultural
mission… You may recognise this in
them before they see it in themselves.
Is God calling you to be an encourager
for His mission? If so read on…
The Flag
Global Interaction’s vision is to see growing vibrant
faith communities among least-reached people groups.
This flag at the top of the mountain is extraordinary in
its ‘bigness’. There are followers of Jesus all over the
world, but among least-reached people groups, there are
very few. Among these communities, there are cultural,
religious and spiritual barriers that work against people
understanding and accepting the Gospel. Yes, the task is
big, but it is the one we have been called to by an even
bigger God and we believe it is possible.
Does this flag, or vision, resonate with you or someone
you know?
The Mountain
To fulfil this vision, the foundation on which the flag
stands is our mission of empowering communities to
develop their own distinctive ways of following Jesus.
This mountain is the foundation of our cross-cultural
ministry. We believe vibrant faith communities will be
established as the least-reached meet Jesus and develop
ways to express their faith from within their language
and culture.
Do you, or someone you know, have a faith-calling built
on this foundation?
The Path
Core values form the path that Global Interaction
cross-cultural workers journey with up the mountain
and towards the flag. This path is where the ‘bigness’ of
the task becomes a series of small, everyday moments
building on each other towards the vision. It is far from a
linear path. It’s winding with steps sideways, backwards
and forwards but ultimately always moving up the
mountain.
While the path may look different for each cross-cultural
worker, the steps they take are guided by the same core
values of being attentive to where God is already at work,
developing cultural competency, establishing authentic
relationships and sharing the Gospel.
Are you, or someone you know, ready to explore
the path?
