I can’t express how important silence is in Korea. It’s a sign of politeness and respect. Listening and then just pausing before you answer someone’s question, is a part of having good manners, being polite. And when you’re listening, you show you respect the other person.

Zero is not a positive number for Hindus. In numbers, you never give someone an amount of money that ends in zero. So when you give them a hundred rupees, you give them 101 rupees. For someone’s birthday, if you want to put some money in a card, you can’t just put in an even number that ends in a zero.

Do it! It’s so fun! • The leaders are awesome! • You’ll regret it if you don’t go! • The field trips are super fun and you get to learn all about language and culture!

My family moved to Tanzania when I was 12 years old and during the first couple of years, we lived near a remote Tanzanian village. I would spend my days out in this village with the local Tanzanians and one family in particular kind of adopted me.

After having spent more than 15 years as church planters in California, we knew God was calling us to serve and work in Mexico and Latin America. And wanting to be as prepared as possible, we took a two-week course with CultureBound and learned about the languages of culture.

My family and I are serving in Southeast Asia and we’ve noticed that body language and space play a huge part in daily conversations and just interacting with people. For instance, the space between one another while speaking or walking.

I was serving as a pastor in Uganda and I always had a desire for further training, especially as I was training other pastors, and the opportunity to study came up to Western Seminary in Portland.

We had the same timing with parents going up to their school to drop their kids off or to pick them up. We started making friends just on the basis that we had the same pattern, the same routine. And so all of those things were in our favor because although we looked different than other people, we actually did the same things they did.
