On a trip to China it was not uncommon for a person to come up to our group and stand inches away
from whom ever was speaking and just stare and smile. Always a smile. We felt awkward.
I suppose a Chinese man would feel equally uncomfortable if I gave him a high five or a hug, smiling of course.
These are minor cultural differences. I wondered how awkward, even dangerous it must be for missionaries to bring the Gospel to different cultures.
The Great Commission is not easy to fulfill. It requires courage, obedience and faith.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19)
