Dr. Michael Rodewald addresses LCMS missionaries at the April 1-5 retreat in Mombasa, Kenya. Rodewald, who has spent nearly 30 years in Africa, urged new missionaries to keep an open mind about their own abilities and cultural perspectives. “One is always a learner no matter how long one serves in a cross-cultural context,” Rodewald said.
