Insights from Others

It used to be that missionaries came from the West to reach other parts of the world.  These other parts of the world were often less educated not only on the Gospel, but sometimes also in subjects like math, science, and literacy.  However, this has changed.  Many other parts of the world are now very educated in both school and the Gospel.  We are seeing insights from those in non-western cultures such as Africa, Latin America, Asia, and many other areas.  

Sometimes I think we as westerners think we know it all.  We still see ourselves as the ones who spread the Gospel and share our insights, not the ones who listen to the insights from other cultures and have the Gospel brought to us.  It's quite unfortunate because there's a lot we could learn from other cultures.
