Singing the Lord's song in strange lands

Joel Van Dyke

The Psalmist writes, ‘How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?’ (Psalm 137.4).

This is a beautiful question springing from the heart of a poet struggling to live out in a strange land (Babylon) what he knows to be true in a more familiar context (Jerusalem). This question has stimulated missional communities of grassroots leaders in Latin America under the banner of the Center for Transforming Mission (CTM).
