Spirituality
Again, the way that people in different cultures express their relationship with God may be vastly different to anything you have experienced before. You might find this liberating, or you might find it alienating. If the latter, spend time talking with people about their experience of God (and sharing with them yours) and try to be open but discerning about new experiences. You might find it useful to take some of your favourite song tapes with you or a series of sermon tapes from your home church as well as your Bible reading notes.
Be ready for the fact that you might be invited to ‘bring a message or a word’ to the different church groups at rather short notice, so have a few passages up your sleeve that you would feel comfortable explaining or a few Sunday School activities that you could run or a few songs that you could sing.
