In this episode of Go When God Calls, I share my personal journey of navigating language and culture as a missionary in Mozambique. I reflect on the challenges of adapting to Mozambican customs, including learning about respectful communication and ways to connect with the local community. I also talk about my experience learning Portuguese and how it has shaped my interactions with the people I serve. Additionally, I share insights from my multicultural family and how we’ve embraced these challenges together.
I offer practical advice for anyone engaging with new cultures, emphasizing the importance of immersion, humility, and patience when learning a new language. Throughout the episode, I bring in biblical insights on how cultural sensitivity and adaptability can help us better share the gospel and build deeper, more meaningful relationships. I encourage you to see these challenges as opportunities for personal growth and deeper connection with others.
As Mother Teresa once said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” These words remind us that through understanding and compassion, we can foster peace and unity, no matter the cultural differences.
