Reflect:
Where might you see ways your gifts and background are all part of God’s workmanship preparing you to fulfill the specific roles and tasks he has planned for you to be and do?
What do you think of the concept of “likeness” being the starting point for building strong cross-cultural communities? Do you believe it can work?
Do you agree that “uniqueness” is also important for building cross-cultural communities?
