Culturally Effective Gospel Proclamation

Overview: The missionary understands the cultural orientation toward guilt, shame, and fear. The gospel presentation will also be framed within the biblical story-line starting with creation and the fall of mankind. The value of storytelling and chronological Bible study are understood, and the missionary is able to practice both.
