“The emphasis on doing everything together, rather than on the individualistic 'I can do it myself, thank you,' creates strong bonds to family and community. Decisions are made within the group setting.” CommunityFamilyDecision MakingRelationship Building Author:Synnove Mitchell
“...the Bible reveals that the untwisted virtues of each culture will be displayed in heaven. Can you imagine how glorious that will be? Revelation 21:24-26 (NIV) puts it this way: 'The kings of the earth will bring their splendor into [the heavenly city]....The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.' That is what God is doing today! Through the Good News of God's love in sending Jesus as our Mediator - the One who can straighten the twists - the ugly, frightening side of each culture can be removed. In the Kingdom of God, the West needs the East and the East needs the West. As we learn to see each other as God sees us in Jesus Christ, we are preparing for that day when the unique beauty of every culture will be fully restored, displaying the glory our Creator planned from the beginning of time.” CultureJesusHeavenRestoration Author:Synnove Mitchell
