Cross Currents

The Beginning of Cross-Cultural Training for A Multi-Ethnic America
Cross Currents is LINC cross cultural training for people of the Lutheran faith and who are committed to connecting their normal Christian life and the life of the Internationals living in San Antonio. Our normal Christian life is the avenue in which the present incarnation happens. Our gracious God desires to shine the light of His life into the International community of San Antonio. Hindu's, Muslims, and several other faith groups who have a cultural heritage different from Americans live in San Antonio, we must seek to be God's Ambassadors to these people. It is a service to them, for our country, and for our God.

The cross cultural aspects of this ministry require greater training and a slower approach to every type of ministry. Please come; the passion to minister must be coupled with the will to prepare!
