Our Vision

After successful participation in Cultivating Christlike Intercultural Relational Competency, Christians of all races will be able to implement the TEAM intercultural relational competencies of:

• T: Taking another person’s earthly perspective 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: Making intercultural peace through spiritual renewal.

Our Passion

Cultivating Intercultural Competency 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). Our goal is to equip one another to relate now in light of our eternal future so that God is glorified and others are attracted to Christ by our love.
