OSPEL OMMUNICATION C PROJECT: CULTURAL NTELLIGENCE ESEARCH I R
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The Gospel Communication Project allows you to apply the principles of Cultural Intelligence to
a specific cross-cultural evangelistic encounter. As a cumulative project throughout the course
(with a research assignment, a grand narrative outline, and a video presentation), you will
research the cultural elements of a specific country, consider how those cultural elements will
affect a person’s understanding of the gospel message, create a plan for communicating
effectively with a person from a specific culture, and present the story of God through video as
you would if you were able to share the gospel with someone from that culture. Also, as you
craft a story of the grand narrative to effectively communicate it in a specific culture, you will
gain a deeper understanding of the story of God and gain confidence in sharing the gospel with
others.
