Ever notice how the best leadership lessons often come from unexpected places?
This week I sat down with Samuel Teka from the Diaspora Network, and what started as a conversation about immigrant ministry turned into something that challenged how I think about community, discipleship, and what the Western church needs most right now.
Samuel is a second-gen Ethiopian-American, and he shared this picture that stuck with me: In Ethiopia, there’s an open-door coffee culture where total strangers can walk in and share a meal. It’s hospitality like Abraham showed the angels, and it’s a gift immigrant churches are bringing to our often isolated Western congregations.
What if the mission field that’s come to us has something vital to teach us too?
