Exploring new cultures will not only provide valuable experiences but will also dispel our unconscious preconceptions about people and foster an open mind.
When Steve Slocum and his family lived in Kazakhstan for five years, they learned the Kazakh language and allowed themselves to be absorbed into a hospitable culture.
“The culture was a fascinating mixture of Islam and indigenous customs. It didn’t take us long to fall in love with the Kazakh people,” Slocum said.
Though he and his family went as missionaries, “as I unconsciously and consciously compared my culture, and the outworking of the Christian faith in it, to the culture of the Kazakh people, seeds were planted for new ways of thinking,” said Slocum, who now lives in Pacific Beach.
