"Cross-Cultural Ministry"
Zoom Class
Instructor: Dallas Elder
September 21, October 5 and 19, 2024
The objective is to acquaint, orient, and instruct the believer/minister in bringing the ministry of Jesus into different cultures. We must learn the appropriate ways and necessary “cultural keys” that enable us to identify, engage, and communicate with the culturally different people of other ethnicities and nations. Cross-cultural ministry skills are required to contextually build relational bridges over which to introduce the incarnational ministry of Jesus Christ.
