CROSS-CULTURAL WORK

Here at Country Oaks, we seek to glorify God by participating in His worldwide work of building His Church by sending, encouraging, and partnering with workers called to cross cultural boundaries in order to make, baptize and teach disciples. Cross-cultural work is defined by the key words and concepts found in the great commission and throughout Scripture: Go, Make Disciples, All Nations (ethnic groups), Baptize, Teach… Matt. 28:18-20

In Let the Nations Be Glad, John Piper writes, “The Goal of [cross-cultural work] is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God. 'The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad' ”(Ps. 97:1). 'Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy!' (Ps 67:3-4) Worship is the fuel and goal of [cross-cultural work.]"
