Some questions to ask yourself and others

1. What were the highlights of your cross-cultural experience? low points?

2. What did you learn about God? (whether easy or hard lessons)

3. What did you learn about yourself?

4. What did you learn about the other culture? the world? God’s purposes in the world?

5. What expectations were met/unmet during your experience? upon your return?

6. How does what you’ve experienced and learned affect the rest of your time in school and/or your future?

7. How will you apply what you’ve learned back on campus? (Suggestions include: lead a GIG, befriend an international student, get involved with a person or group that is racially or ethnically different from you.)
