Title: Introduction to Cross Cultural Communications and Church Planting


1
Introduction to Cross Cultural
Communicationsand Church Planting
  • Why is it so difficult to communicate to people
    who are different from me?

2
The Task Never Changes
  • Matthew 2819-20
  • Therefore go
  • and make disciples of all nations,
  • baptizing them in the name
  • of the Father
  • and of the Son
  • and of the Holy Spirit,
  • and teaching them to obey
  • 21 everything I have commanded you.
  • And surely I am with you always,
  • to the very end of the age."

3
Stages of Mission Task
  • E-0 People within the church contacts
  • E-1 People within the same culture and social
    level, but never been in the church
  • E-2 People within a culture, with same language,
    but different cultural background from that of
    the church
  • E-3 People within a different culture, a
    different language and greater distance from
    mother church.

Cross-Cultural Missions
  • To understand the Bible is cross-culturalcross
    -historical
  • Without clarification misunderstandingsChristmas-
    Santa and manger
  • Techniques to learn languages and translate
    messages to another culture
  • Understand the process of conversion and
    associated social changes
  • How to make the gospel relevant to our listeners
  • Skill of relating to culturally diverse people
    around the world
  • The power of the gospel is to break down cultural
    prejudices while allowing differences to continue

5
Theological Assumptions
  • Gods MissionIt is HIS plan to reach out to the
    world, as we seek to fulfill HIS mission He
    provides and enables.
  • Authoritative ScriptureGods self-revelation to
    mankind
  • His Word needs to be communicated
  • Given to humans in a specific historical and
    cultural context (we must relate to that culture
    2000 years ago)
  • ChristocentricThe perfect representation of God
  • Like Him, we must seek to incarnateto identify
    with those to whom we go
  • The message is centered on Christ sacrificial
    death and resurrection power and presence as the
    ONLY WAY for any man on earth to ever be accepted
    in heaven.

6
Theological Assumptions
  • 4. Ministry of the Spirit
  • He guides burdens our heart, opens our eyes
  • He convicts, draws, teaches, illuminates and
    opens their hearts
  • 5. Kingdom of Godexpansion of the church
    throughout the world
  • How Christ relates and is glorified in different
    actions
  • How Christ continues to build His church (Mat
    1618)
  • 6. Priesthood of all believers
  • God creates a workmanship in every believer
    (Ephesians 210) to accomplish His eternal plan
  • Talents
  • Spiritual Gifts
  • Personality
  • Passion
  • Experience

Biblical Principles
  • Philippians 26 Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to
    be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking
    the very nature of a servant, being made in human
    likeness.
  • Matthew 1624 Then Jesus said to his disciples,
    "If anyone would come after me, he must deny
    himself and take up his cross and follow me.

8
Biblical Principles
  • 1 Corinthians 922 To the weak I became weak, to
    win the weak. I have become all things to all men
    so that by all possible means I might save some.
    23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that
    I may share in its blessings.
