What is LIVEº? (4 of 6)

This is the fourth in a series of entries about what LIVEº is.

Value #4:

Living Among the People

It only makes sense that if we are committed to learning local language and culture, and to lifestyle evangelism, we need to live where we minister.

When you buy chicken at the same market as the people you are trying to reach you pull down barriers. When you live among the people you are trying to serve you understand them and their struggles much better. When you live with them every action, reaction, kind word, and gesture makes your verbal message more powerful.
