ABOUT US
Who is F.I.R.E.?
F.I.R.E. is an acronym for the name: Facilitating Intercultural Relationships Everywhere. We are a Christian non-profit organization—501(c)(3)—that offers education, training, and practical tools that enable people to establish effective and sustainable intercultural relationships in order to communicate God’s astonishing love to our culturally diverse world.
Why F.I.R.E?
F.I.R.E. operates within the framework of two core relationships: with God and with one another. Witnessing effectively to the people of the nations living with us requires skills in sharing God’s love cross-culturally. Living with the people of the nations in biblical community means living inter-culturally. Both require developing cross-cultural competencies. F.I.R.E. delivers this service so people can experience the wonder of intercultural relationships in community.
In sum, professional success and personal satisfaction will increasingly depend on the ability to communicate competently with people from other cultures. (Lustig and Koester in Intercultural Competence, Pearson Education, Inc. 2003, page 16)
