Here is a book description:
You can be a missionary by crossing an ocean or by crossing the street.

We now have unprecedented opportunities to meet people from every culture and nation. International study and global migration allow us to build relationships with Buddhists and Muslims, students from Singapore and workers from the Middle East. But how do we share the gospel with people from different cultures and worldviews?

Cross-cultural evangelism can be scary. But veteran cross-cultural minister Katie Rawson shows how we can witness the way Jesus did, entering into people's worlds and drawing them into God-centered community. She equips readers to evangelize Jesus' way, depending on him as companion and guide and venturing out in joy to be and share good news.

Filled with compelling stories, practical resources and relational tools, this guide gives cross-cultural training and shows how you can share the gospel through story and diagram, with clear communication and authentic community.
