How did I get here ?
Danny shares six key moments that have led him to serve in Outback Australia with Baptist Mission Australia .
ONE
From an early age , I was fascinated with those serving interculturally . I loved hearing them share their stories and challenge us at meetings . My parents often offered hospitality to those on home assignment . I prayed for them and understood their need for support . Some became good friends and mentors , and I was inspired by their biographies .
TWO
As a young adult , I grabbed every opportunity to experience other cultures , and started seeing my own lifestyle from their point of view . I was drawn to people from other nations . I visited other countries and went on many short-term team trips .
As a pastor I found myself caring for intercultural team members linked to every church I served . I understood more about the sacrifices involved and learnt about reverse culture shock .
