Sister Iptissam Azar shares powerful strategies for reaching Access Challenge Nations through relational evangelism and biblical hospitality. She outlines practical approaches for building trust with collectivist cultures by finding common ground and showing Christ's love through consistent relationships.
• Collectivist cultures (most of the world outside North America) build trust through long-term relationships, not accomplishments
• Biblical hospitality means love for strangers and differs greatly from modern Western hospitality
• Discipleship can and should begin before conversion through authentic relationship building
• Oneness Apostolics are uniquely positioned to reach Muslims through shared belief in one God and holy living
• Miracles happen anywhere life happens, not just in church services
• Finding commonality in dress, family values, and moral standards creates natural bridges
• Political opinions should never hinder gospel opportunities with immigrant communities
• Trust is built at home over meals, not through arguments or direct confrontation
