Frontiers Of Friendship And Mid-Twentieth-Century Global Service

Author

Listed:
  • J. McCloud

Abstract

The author participated in the inaugural Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) program in Liberia in 1958, and returned as a group leader in Ghana in 1967. In the 1950s, OCA's modeling of diversity and of reaching across boundaries placed the organization on new frontiers of social relationships—domestically and internationally. The author's experience had three notable impacts: it helped him develop relationships with peoples of different nationalities, cultures, and faiths; it enhanced his commitment to service through Christian ministry; and, it taught him that the principle of giving sacrificially on behalf of others is one of enduring value.
