I remember leading a mission trip a few years ago to Mexico. One of the days we were trying to connect a neighborhood to a local church where we were having a VBS. To connect the neighborhood to the church, we would go out with translators and basically just try to talk to whoever we saw. In that neighborhood, there were lots of people without jobs just kind of hanging out in front of their little houses, or shacks. We would try to ask questions about them. I remember one high school student who was really trying to be intentional about sharing his faith, yet he was always awkward. He would ask questions that just made him look like a creep. “How are you today? Do you have children? Are they home? Is your husband home? By this time I was trying to back away because he was embarrassing himself.
