18 Oct Cultural intelligence
Cultural intelligence is “the capability to function effectively across rational, ethnic, and organizational cultures.” [1] Cultural understanding is important when talking to people of different cultures about the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is very important to not come across as disrespectful. Taking the time to learn about other beliefs and values will show the person that you have respect for what they believe. When they see that you took the time to learn about them they make take the time to listen to what you have to say. Learning to talk to people of other cultures may mean that we have to leave our comfort zone of only talking to people with beliefs and values c;lose to our own. We must go into spreading the gospel with an ethical, spiritual, and intellectual awareness to the people we are seeking to reach. The Holy Spirit will lead us with the right words when witnessing to others. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto the uttermost part of the earth.” [2]
In the Bible there are many places where Jesus demonstrated the significance of cross cultural understanding. These examples show us that God’s love reaches beyond any cultural differences, and that His love has no boundaries. In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus and his disciples encounter a woman in the land of Canaan. The Jews did not interact with Canaanites. The disciples ask Jesus to send her away. Instead of turning her away Jesus healed her daughter. This example should be a powerful message to us all. Everyone can receive all that Jesus has to offer. We must bring the truth of the gospel into every cultural that we encounter. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost.” [3]
