Last week I shared a bit more concerning what ICF Delft is excited about. In introducing you to ICF Delft, this week I want to share a bit more about ICF Delft's intercultural DNA. That we are an international church, means more than that we consist of people coming from many nations - from all across the world. Indeed  we are such a church. But to be intercultural means for us, that we also value that God is at work in the different cultures of the world. And therefore we chose to have people from different cultures in the council, the music team, the children's ministry - and so on. That is not always easy. Sometimes it is easier to do things the way you are used to in your own culture. Then people of all kind of cultures may still be welcome, but underlying there is the conviction that one culture is best and should be leading. We reject that vision. Though we know it is not the easiest pathway for a church. However, we believe it is the pathway that honours God most.

By the way, ICF Delft also knows a lot of intercultural couples. To bein an intercultural marriage can also be difficult at times. If you struggle herein, do not hesitate to ask for some help! We have some experience now in how to deal with that. Besides of the difficulties of being intercultural, finally you will see it is a very joyful and very glorious thing - prefiguring the future: before the throne of God a multitude of many nations and languages will together worship the Saviour and King.
