As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
‘Revelation 5:9 and 7:9 paint a glorious picture of the Church: redeemed people from every tribe, tongue, and nation, united in worship. These saints come from every imaginable background—linguistic, cultural, social, and generational. Though they are one in Christ, they retain their distinctiveness.” - P&D

More than ever before we need to see cross-cultural missions as advancing the Gospel among peoples and language groups, not merely reaching those within certain political boundaries. This distinction is becoming increasingly important as our world grows integrated through a global economy and technology. Peoples and languages, not countries—this is what I would like to emphasize.
