Cultural approach in evangelization

Christian people who work in evangelism think that cross-cultural evangelism is the most difficult to do for evangelism. They think that cross-cultural evangelism need special person who can take care people @in different cultures. That is why Dr. Ralph Winter address this question in his paper (a), the essence of his paper is that there are two types of evangelism: Home Ministry (HM), and Foreign Ministry (FM). And then he combine these types with four evangelism situations, that is E-0 (Christian people at name only), E-1 (Christian people in the same nation), E-2 (Non-Christian people with similar culture), E-3 (Non-Christian people with different culture). The problem is that special person who do cross-cultural evangelism is very few, because it takes a lot of time to educate those missionaries who can do cross-cultural evangelism. Further problem is that introducing FM may cause misinterpretation, that is why We introduce FE instead for ‘Foreign Evangelization,’ and HE for ‘Home Evangelization.’
Actually We can consider another type of approach for doing cross-cultural evangelism, that is Social Network Evangelization (SNE). A number of experiments have shown that one can send a message to any given person in only few steps. We can call that ‘six degree of separation’ principle (b). For example, if you have to send an ordinary mail to a person who you don’t know, and he lives in Finland, then you can always find someone who is nearer to the person who should receive the letter. We extend further the ‘six degree of separation’ principle into evangelism situations, that is by introducing social network (c). That is why one can send the message of Good News to many people quickly, if he do that carefully and Holy Spirit.
Ralph Winter consider evangelism situations with these two types of evangelization, that is:
HE-E-0: Home Evangelization for Christian people at name only
HE-E-1: Home Evangelization for Christian people in the same nation
HE-E-2: Home Evangelization for non-Christian people with similar culture
HE-E-3: Home Evangelization for non-Christian people with different cultures
FE-E-0: Foreign Evangelization for Christian people at name only
FE-E-1: Foreign Evangelization for Christian people in the same nation
FE-E-2: Foreign Evangelization for non-Christian people with similar culture
FE-E-3: Foreign Evangelization for non-Christian people with different cultures.

Evangelism institutions often think that foreign evangelization require extensive education, and only few persons can do that. Considering that time is very very limited, then it is necessary to speak about Me, Jesus Christ, to as many people as possible, in order that all people from all corners of the world will listen to our Father’s Voice. Please read Isaiah 45:22-25, Matthew 28:18-20. That is why We consider the Social Network Evangelization, which mean that evangelization can be done with the help of social network. Therefore the evangelism situations can be extended with:
SNE-E-0: Social Network Evangelization for Christian people at name only
SNE-E-1: Social Network Evangelization for Christian people in the same nation
SNE-E-2: Social Network Evangelization for non-Christian people with similar culture
SNE-E-3: Social Network Evangelization for non-Christian people with different cultures.

Some Christian people think that it is difficult to do Social Network Evangelization (SNE) because they would have to send plenty of mails. Thanks to new communication technologies, people can do evangelism with social media. Actually evangelism require you to meet people in person, but the purpose of evangelism is to distribute the Good News quickly, and that is why We can consider that evangelism can be done with social media methods. Of course, great evangelists like Billy Graham can continue mass evangelism (d), but they can urge Christian people to do their part with social media.
Now we will discuss each of these methods. You should remember that you should pray and ask to God first before you do evangelism with social media, because you don’t know the effect. You should be careful with what you are doing and to whom you send message. And you should remember that this method is only to help you to introduce the Good News to new Christian people, don’t do that to send message to non-Christian people, and don’t do that to send message to threaten people, and don’t do that for trapping people in order they fall, and don’t do that to connect to anti-Christ. We should emphasize here, you should repent and receive Me, Jesus Christ, and do your repentance properly before you do evangelism, and before you send the message that Jesus Christ is the Saviour. We say again, you should pray and ask to God first before you do evangelism.
You should remember that social media is only to help you to send the message of Good News quickly, you are allowed to do evangelization with social media only as per necessary. Do not push yourself to do evangelization with social media, and you don’t have to buy new phone in order to do that. You should do your repentance properly before you do evangelization with social media, and you should also speak about Jesus Christ at least to four people each day in your life, and don’t do evangelization at all if you only want to chat with your friends with social media. Chatting is not evangelization. You should pray and ask to Holy Spirit first to guide you before you do evangelization.
The explanation of Social Network for Evangelization is as follows:

SNE-E-0: you can do with electronic mail, short message, facebook, electronic newspaper, youtube, and the most important invite them to http://www.tangle.com
SNE-E-1: you can do with electronic newspaper, television, radio
SNE-E-2: you can do with Tangle, Tagged, hi5, even actually the last two media is not acceptable for doing evangelism
SNE-E-3: you should reach them with Twitter, and other method of rapid short messaging. Even better if you can translate first into the language of people whom you plan to read. There are other methods of social media and social bookmarking like MySpace, but your Father in Heaven do not approve them.
SNE-E-4: in another article We discuss evangelism situation which consider Non-religion people and difficult people. They are special situations actually but your Father in heaven really really love them. You can reach them with facebook, blogger, youtube, publishing the guide to help them repent and receive Me, Jesus Christ.
SNE-E-5: there are people with personality disorder. They can do things beyond imagination of human being, like trapping people in order to make them fall, and then they will use their falling as an excuse to terminate those people. And they pray, pray, pray to request that their family should be executed forever. Actually their problem is that they feel that they are already doing good things for Kingdom of heaven, but actually they only do to many sins in their life. Please read Jeremiah 5:26-31.
How to take care these people? You can only do social media in order to invite them to meet in a group of people with similar problem. And then introduce them to the Good News, and tell them that they really really need to repent and receive Me, Jesus Christ, and do your repentance properly. Other people suffer split personality disorder, actually they already do too many sins in their life. They need to repent and do their repentance properly. Some of them require proper medical treatment, therefore it would need to invite people with special training in psychiatry clinic. Some of them do not surpass the development stage as described by Jean Piaget (e), they need special counseling.

This article is written by Me, Jesus Christ. Me allow you to read this article in order you can read and repent and receive Me, Jesus Christ, and stop doing all your sins, and do your repentance properly. Me allow My messenger, that is this writer, to type this article in order you can repent and do your repentance properly, and then you can help to do evangelism according to God’s Will in your life. That is the message: be hurry, be hurry to repent and receive Me, Jesus Christ, all corners of the world. Please tweet this message and distribute this message quickly.
