Using the concepts from "Foreign to Familiar" by Sarah Lanier (consultant for YWAM) you can gain an understanding of the cultural differences that affect your local church's ability to do outreach. These differences may also be affecting how people within your local church relate to each other. Understanding these differences is the first step toward building relationship bridges for evangelism and a stronger church community.

This workshop will help Asian American church leaders look at their own church's practices and find ways to establish healthier life together.
