I am Indian by nationality. In 1990 I left India and went to United Arab Emirates; I lived there for 25 years. It was radically different culture but I could in a way carry my culture as 40% of the population was Indian and especially the presence of Christian community and openness of the host nation to give Christians freedom to worship in designated places helped me to continue to have my faith exercised even thou speaking about my faith was limited to these designated areas.
Even then to have that freedom as against the neighboring country where even carrying the WORD OF GOD was restricted; was so much a relief.
Then this year I moved to US - Minneapolis - again a cultural change but here I have more freedom to express my faith as well as bring my faith. I am a student @ LUTHER SEMINARY studying for a M.Th.
Thanks...God bless,
