Race, Culture, & Religion

If you know me at all, you know that this blog posting is actually very well delayed.

Be real... How much of an issue is gender, race or culture when you address someone for the first time about religion?

Do we cater the Kingdom of God to those who most look like us unless we feel especially called to some people of a different culture?! Is that why I hear so many people say "I'm going to Africa on a missions trip" when Africa is a continent? Or is this why people say they are called to an urban environment (thinking poor, minorities) when most "urban environments" have a wide range of people with widely different economical statuses?
Do we have to feel called to a certain group of people if they are different from us before we can be a light to them?

Why don't more Christians start spiritual conversations with people who are different from them? Is it a matter of comfort? Ignorance? Sin?
