Utilizing Indigenous Cultural Traits for Cross-Cultural Missions

PAUL SUNGRO LEE. It is tactical for the global body of Christ in the current page of missio Dei to develop cross-cultural workers who will cultivate their own cultural uniqueness, utilize it for the benefit of the Great Commission, and mobilize it to reach under-reached groups in similar cultural backgrounds. We must not merely replicate the standardized methods of Western missions of the past, but find and facilitate our own cultural approaches that are suitable for missions today. We need to be open to the multifaceted nature of missions, which is not just a one-dimensional narrative of reaching the world driven by traditional missions. As the world is expected to become more diverse and complex in the post-pandemic era, it is now time to consider multidirectional methodologies.
