    Sydney Owenson’s The Missionary asserts the universalism of Western culture and how the East is similar to the West but slightly different, as a way to make conversions to Christianity more successful. Although the text aims to portray a more neutral stance, it actually prioritizes the West when it attempts to bridge the gap between the two sides by saying that “Chrishna” is the “Indian Apollo,” not realizing that this views the East through a Western lens rather than allowing it to exist on its own (Owenson 91). In this instance, the text primarily mentions the language of idols as a conduit to signify the commonality of the people, more specifically, their religions. The text complicates the commonality of the people when it elevates the “bridging process” by…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…
