|
|
Summary: |
This is an article recommending that new missionaries not begin with established missionaries on the field, but by living with a family and becoming "insiders" by learning the language and culture that way. There seems to be an early critical period for becoming a part of the culture, and if one spends those first few weeks or months with other missionaries, he or she never becomes part of the culture, but engages in "forays" out of the enclave. Same as in R. Winter and S. Hawthorne (Eds.) (1981). Perspectives on the World Christian Movement: A Reader, (452-464) Pasadena, CA: William Carey.
