What works in the city, may not work in the country.
What works with the elderly may not work with the young.
What works with Christians may not work with non-Christians.
What works with business owners may not work with students.
What works with literates may not work with illiterates.
What works with Muslims may not work with Hindus.
Eventually, you have to make a choice about where and with whom you are going to work, which will determine what you do. At least for this time in your life.
The choice may make you feel bad: you want to reach everyone, but you can only reach a few.
But if you try to reach everyone, you’ll likely fail to reach anyone—at least, anyone in significant numbers. Instead work to reach some and teach them to reach across cultural boundaries…
So that some you reach in the city, will in turn reach the country.
And some of the young you reach, will in turn reach the elderly.
(You see how this goes.)
