Missions 101

From Leading Cross-Culturally: Covenant Relationships for Effective Christian Leadership by Sherwood Lingenfelter.

 "Leading cross-culturally…is inspiring people who come from two or more cultural traditions to participate with you…in building a community of trust and then to follow you and be empowered by you to achieve a compelling vision of faith" (21). 

And the challenge:

 "The complexity of leading cross-culturally lies in the challenge of building a community of trust among people who come from two or more cultural traditions that provoke a clash of worldviews" (20).
