It’s entitled, “Cultural Vantage Points” and it explains how cultures of the East and West (mis)perceive each other’s values.

Does your church or agency have a great training piece for cross-cultural travelers (short-term or long)? If so, we’d love to see it, especially if the church or org would let others use the materials.
