The “Mission Field” Comes Home

A very interesting article from the USA Today.  Chinese (and many other international) students are flocking to U.S. university campuses.

Americans no longer need to “go” overseas to be considered cross-cultural missionaries.  The world is getting smaller by the day, and there are endless opportunities to cross the cultural divide right in your own home town.

International Students Inc. claim that over 75% of international students studying in the U.S. never see the inside of an American home.  I encourage you to be a part of changing this appalling statistic.  Missional living is about being a missionary RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!  Look for opportunities to “adopt a student” from a foreign country.  Taking even a couple of hours each month to help orient a new student to the American culture can be a fun, and rewarding service opportunity.

God loves it when we show hospitality to the foreigners among us!
