BREAKING TRIBAL AND CULTURAL BARRIERS TO REACH ALL PEOPLE WITH THE GOSPEL
I have learnt of partnership to build synergy, how to be concerned about community and its transformation, interpreting realities by having Jesus’ worldview in order to interact with reality of people lives to interpret the same in order to reach them effectively. I’ve helped to how to reach cities and building short term mission teams and how to reach the western world.
The importance of spiritual warfare especially to tackle secularism and religious pluralism.
Also i have been inspired by the lives of missionaries to the unreached who are notably world changers and change agents. I should also have Jesus’ attitude to the lost and the high value He places on souls of men , interpreting it as His food.

A great change
I thank God for the opportunity created for me to join Axx.
Frankly speaking the tutors teaching the cross cultures courses are amazing.May God richly blessed them.
In fact the impartation that has come on my life after this courses can’t be exaggerated. It have given me not only knowledge and skills in missions but also how to live or move with a stranger. It give me insight of the need to find every means to draw people attention to Christ no matter the race, cultures or behavior. I may say with this courses I am full.
I am most grateful for the opportunity given.
Mission made easy
Because of this topic my mission becomes light. I am a pastor who is sent by my church to pastor a remote church in mountain place. Where i a have encountered a culture that is way far from what i a have. And because of this topic i was able to manage it and now the church is goin well. Thank God for giving me this online bi ke school. All the glory belongs to God alone.
Crossing cultures
It was very interesting it remind me that God have always have his plan to save the World .It teaches the importance of learning about other culture .also the plan of God in the 21st century is still the World. we all have a role to play in reaching the unsaved .
