I just stopped to think recently, it was when I was 17 years old that I sensed the overwhelming identification to the German culture. And that in spite of the fact that...
- I had never been to Germany.
- I was raised in the heat of a desert.
- I did not speak one word of German (unless you count the words: Gesundheit, Kindergarten, Sauerkraut, ja and nein.)
- I had no clue how to cross-culturally communicate the good news of the Gospel. (The principles of relational relevance and authenticity in communication were yet for me to be discovered.)

Today and tomorrow our city is hosting a city festival - kind of a celebration of summer coming to a close. For two days the entire city center is filled with bands and beer tables. It was my opportunity to mingle, photograph and speak with people about Jesus. Just the kind of lift my heart needed.

On Sunday evening I sat with a despondent man from our church until 11 PM.
Last night I had multiple phone calls late at night dealing with a run-away teenager and her parents.
Drama and sorrow in multiple families.
Then there is the question of dealing with cultural challenges and language inadequacies.
