Thailand-based George M. will explore the importance of personal growth and adaptability for long-term and effective cross-cultural ministry.
Speaker Bio

His first wife battled and succumbed to cancer after a 9-year struggle. The support of their local community in Asia both humbled and transformed his engagement in advancing the Kingdom.
The Organisers
For this webinar, the Alliance for Vulnerable Mission (AVM) partners with the Rethinking Forum (RF).
The Alliance for Vulnerable Mission encourages cross-cultural workers to make themselves vulnerable to the people they serve – mainly by using local languages and local resources in ministry. This webinar is a platform to listen, ask questions and engage in conversations focused on this theme.
Prioritising cultural and missiological humility, the Rethinking Forum seeks to strengthen the witness of Christ to the Theravada Buddhist world. We want to address barriers and overcome hinderances to the Gospel, taking a critical look at what lessons can be learned from the past, deconstructing unhelpful approaches (such as neocolonialism and western worldview). Likewise, we seek to learn from and engage with new movements to Christ taking place on the ground and culturally appropriate foundations and expressions of faith. Engaging on a missiological (theoretical) and practical level, we seek to incorporate the two. We aim to become vulnerable towards those we are there to reach, seeking to discover what God is doing beyond our limited frameworks.
