GOSPEL PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS
For this assignment:
1. Identify a specific cultural context, other than your own, for sharing the gospel. Ideally,
choose a culture with:
a. A specific person you know from that culture
b. Preferably, an individual who is not currently a follower of Jesus
2. Include the following 5 headings in your presentation of the gospel:
a. Background Information: In the first paragraph, introduce whom you intend to
share the gospel with. What is your relationship with the individual? Provide
some background information on him/her (i.e. age, ethnicity, gender, geographical
residence, religious background, current understanding of Jesus and the gospel,
etc.) If you are not using a real person, you will need to create the background
information. Remember, this must be a person from a different culture than
your own.
b. Elements of Communication: Include a solid paragraph discussing the elements
of verbal and non-verbal communication that would be important in
communicating in this context. Discuss how these elements might impact the
conversation. (For example: some cultures in the world consider it a sign of
disrespect to look at a superior directly in the eyes in certain types of
conversations. In other cultures, this same non-verbal behavior would be seen just
the oppositeas a sign of respect and that the person is tracking with the
conversation. This understanding has serious implications for how to
communicate and how to interpret responses during the course of the
conversation.)
c. Cultural Systems: Follow with a discussion of cultural systems that are
important and must be considered in this context. You must identify the cultural
systems and reflect on how they might impact the conversation. The Cultural
Systems are clearly outlined and discussed in chapter 4 of Leading with Cultural
Intelligence by David Livermore and in the presentation for Module/Week 7.
Your presentation should reflect the cultural systems as discussed in the book and
in the presentations from Module/Week 7. At least 4 of the 6 cultural systems
must be identified and discussed in detail.
d. Cultural Value Orientations: Next include a discussion of cultural value
orientations that are important and must be considered in this context. You must
identify the cultural value orientations and reflect on how they might impact the
conversation. The Cultural Values are clearly outlined and discussed in chapter 5
of Leading with Cultural Intelligence by David Livermore, in your CQ Feedback
report, and in the presentation for Module/Week 7. Your presentation should
reflect the cultural values as discussed in the book, feedback report, and in the
presentations from Module/Week 7. At least 7 of the 10 cultural values must be
identified and discussed in detail.

e. Presentation: Articulate how you would present the gospel story in a
conversation with this individual factoring in the elements of communication and
culture you have identified above. (See Chapter 10 of The King Jesus Gospel and
the section titled The Gospel Sketched pp. 148152 for a good example of what
your instructor is looking for.) Be sure to include the following in your
conversational gospel story: Creation, the Fall/Sin, the Promise/Covenant,
Lineage of Jesus, the Prophecies, Virgin Birth, the Incarnation, the Deity of Jesus,
Jesus’ Life (person and works), Jesus’ Death, the Resurrection, the Ascension,
Kingship of Jesus, and Reconciliation. Your presentation must demonstrate that
you have a clear understanding of the gospel.
