A Christ-Centered TEAM Approach
Revelation 7:9-10
Many of you have asked to hear more about my presentation on intercultural (multicultural) ministry. Here’s an outline.
Presentation Objectives
The primary goal of Cultivating Christlike Intercultural Relational Competency: A Christ-Centered TEAM Approach is to equip participants to develop four championship TEAM skills that empower them to function effectively in our culturally diverse society. Participants will learn how to relate harmoniously by building bridges of understanding across diverse cultures. This seminar is based upon the biblical conviction that God in Christ is moving all of history toward an eternity where “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language” will stand before the Lamb in united worship (Revelation 7:9-10). Thus the eternal goal is to equip participants to relate interculturally now in light of their eternal future so that God is glorified and others are attracted to Christ by their love.
Student Learning Outcomes
After successful participation in Cultivating Christlike Intercultural Relational Competency: A Christ-Centered TEAM Approach, participants will be able to implement the TEAM intercultural relational competencies of:
T: Taking another person’s earthly perspctive through empathy and culturally-informed listening.
E: Engaging in bridge-building spiritual conversations through focusing on God’s eternal perspective.
A: Abolishing barriers through forgiveness and reconciliation.
M: Mentoring interculturally competent disciples through envisioning, empowering, and equipping.
