One great beauty of international mission is the way that it can point to the amazing unity of the Church. Despite all the differences of
language and lifestyle and worldview, there is something that binds us all to each other. There
is one Lord, one God whom we serve. One name, the holy name of Jesus Christ, that binds
all of us who claim the name of “Christian”. And that is a unity that means more to me than
country or culture or language.---
