Questions that Missionaries Hear in South East Asia
Being on outreach is always a cultural experience for our staff and students. The thing that we don't often take into account is that visiting a foreign country is also a cultural experience for the people living there that we are outreaching to.
Wan Dee is a Church Panter in Southern Thailand. She's an American who has been in Thailand for 8 years and runs the OceanicThai web-site, plus a few others. She has collected a few of the interesting questions that she has been asked in her years planting a church in Thailand. Here are a few of my favourites:
- "Why do you only take 1 shower a day?"
- "Why do you foreigners wear such embarrassingly tiny swimsuits and clothes?"
- "Why do you think this food is spicy? My baby even eats it."
- "Why are you foreigners so fat?"
