Cultural Standards
Each intern must adapt to the culture where they serve. Many times it is necessary to adjust your Christian liberty to the culture where you serve so that others are not offended. Usually these are external standards relating to appearance. However, it may also include language, recreation, music, entertainment, and associations. The field director and / or the missionary partner is responsible to inform each intern of cultural differences which may affect your effectiveness of ministry and testimony.
REMEMBER: You are here for a short term, therefore YOU must adjust to the culture, not seek to change it. (The missionaries and the ministry of SCORE International will here long after you leave!)
