Presenting the Gospel in a cross cultural context can be challenging. It’s challenging enough to present it to our neighbours, much less to someone who has none of the same cultural or national experiences that we do.
Some of the best ways that you can prepare yourself for the cross cultural mission field is through:
- Training (lots of options for this in YWAM)
- Finding relevant resources
Equip2Go
Equip2Go is a great resource for finding relevant, contextualised resources for presenting the Gospel. Contectualising does not mean watering down the Gospel, but presenting it in a way that is understandable to the cultural you are speaking to.
