http://missional.info/archives/17 A forum for local congregations in mission Thu, 11 Feb 2010 06:04:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://missional.info/archives/17/comment-page-1#comment-210 Marian McClure Fri, 06 Apr 2007 11:44:05 +0000 http://timcarriker.com/missional/?p=26#comment-210 <p>Thanks for posting this, Tim. I think this video helps underline the importance of mission personnel such as your family. People learn through relationships or because something is brought to our attention in a memorable way. This was impressed on me when I was 17 and was an exchange student in Finland and could think about why people there learned what they did about other languages and people. The power of the US keeps us from having to learn, even while that same power means the world really needs us to learn. Relationships of congregations with mission workers like yourselves can become a natural bridge into learning. Keep up the good work!</p> Thanks for posting this, Tim.
