Absolutely not! Though it will help you communicate, we actually enjoy it if you cannot. It’s been said that only 7% of communication is verbal, so you will be able to “say” a lot without even opening your mouth! If you do not speak the local language, you cannot hide behind words like we do so often. Smile and they will smile, love and they will love in return. You’ll be amazed at how God will open your heart and theirs through the lack of communication!
Do I need to speak the local language?
