Welcome to Global Perspectives

As missionaries, we live at the intersection of multiple worlds—our home culture(s) in which we were raised and our host culture(s) in which we live and work. From this vantage point, we are cultural brokers, seeking to facilitate communication and understanding between people of all cultures. In this blog, we have come together as a group of American Baptist missionaries to offer our Global Perspectives on culture, mission, and world events. We hope that the posts on this blog will not only educate and inform, but will also challenge you to broaden your understanding of the world in which we live and help you to see the world from the unique cross-cultural perspective that we offer. Additionally, we hope that you will join us in dialogue by posting any questions or comments you might have about our blog entries.

Grace and peace,

Daniel Schweissing and Mayra Giovanetti
