It’s amazing how many Christians frequent restaurants and favorite food joints but never talk to their waiters or owners. But it goes beyond simple interactions like that. Why not consider entering the lives of those around you and displaying the love of God as people have never seen before. Tricia Winter Johnson says that all her favorite people are curious people. That curiosity leads to natural conversations and thus relationships with people from other cultures, language groups, and backgrounds. Perhaps it’s time for you to grow in curiosity and see how God opens missional doors in your life.
