Missionary Guide to Learning a Foreign Language

Here is a great article from Crossworld. We could not agree more here at MissioSERVE. Why learn the language of the people you serve?
 
"A heart language bonds a people group together with a shared source of cultural history and identity. Unlike a trade language, which may be used in business but not in the home, a heart language allows deep and intimate connection and provides the highest level of significance and comprehension."

Missionaries are about connecting to people's hearts and who they are with the Gospel. There is no better way to do that than by learning the language of the people that you serve. Not only does Natalie make a great case for learning, but she also gives some practical advice on how to get started!
