Crossing Cultures with the Gospel

Evangelism & Missions

“I was mesmerized the first time I attended one of Darrell’s lectures. The way he made Jesus come alive, unpacked the concept of culture, and gregariously interacted with the class left a significant impression on me. After hearing him speak many times since, I was thrilled to learn that Darrell has recorded his thoughts and experiences in a book. It’s about time! I am especially excited to share this tool with the burgeoning missions movement spreading from Ethiopia to the ends of the earth.”

Overturning Tables

Evangelism & Missions

“Scott really puts himself out there by writing so boldly about an issue that has crippled parts of the body from participating in cross-cultural missions. Whether you agree completely with him or not, you can't deny the fact that he is going toe to toe with the proverbial elephant in the room—the financial structure of the sending agency. Before you decide to stone Scott and accuse him of overstating his case, let me encourage you to read carefully what he is saying. As an African American mobilizer who has been involved in cross-cultural missions since the late '90s (over fifteen years), I could tell you story after story of African American missionaries who have struggled to get on the field (and stay!) with the current financial models employed by most US sending agencies. So, from my vantage point, this conversation must happen. Will you choose to join it?”
