it affect my life and loved ones? How does a ‘white’ person effectively
serve in a cross-cultural setting without doing more damage than
helping? Come and hear from a 20 year, urban ministry veteran about
his perspective on following the call by crossing boundaries.

to each other and it’s time they started
experiencing the Kingdom and sharing their
lives together.
