Breaking Down Cultural
Barriers
By Shaun Burrows, International Missions Manager
People, so different, so diverse in our ways, beliefs, views
and values; each with our own filters prohibiting us from
seeing reality, and bodies that succumb to disease, genetic
disorders and injury. And yet somehow we have the same
need for love, acceptance, recognition, security and
purpose.
Our Wheels for the World distributions and Churches Inc.
trips are events where all these things come together. They
are events where those who live in dire poverty, victims of
motor vehicle accidents, or born with various disabilities
come and people from their own local community who
have given up a week’s wages to serve them, and
opportunities where those from the UK are also able to go
and serve alongside them. They are occasions where
lifelong friendships develop, and times where God will
often reveal a divine call upon a life. They are times when
