This paper is the second section of an ongoing project throughout this course. In this paper, you will continue to explore your friends culture and build on what you learned in Part 1 of the project. Then, you will synthesize them to come up with a strategy for sharing the story of God with your friend. Finally, you will outline your Gospel Presentation. You will write a formal academic paper. Your paper should be neatly formatted and organized, and it should include a cover page, page numbers, footnote citations, proper headings and subheadings, and a bibliography. It should be double spaced and in Times New Roman, 12- pt font. Part 2, Section 1: Elements of Communication Discuss at least 3 elements of verbal and non-verbal communication which are prevalent in your friend’s culture. (Think about the verbal and non-verbal communication strategies presented in Chapter 7 of Leading with Cultural Intelligence.) Support your statements with at least 1 outside source. Part 2, Section 2: Strategy for Communication In this section, you will create a plan to communicate effectively to your friend. Answer the following questions in a couple of paragraphs. Discuss how you will use your knowledge of these cultural value orientations, cultural systems, and elements of communication to share the gospel effectively with your friend. (Which of their cultural value orientations should you keep in mind as you try to communicate with them? How will you adjust your communication, your approach to the conversation, and your language in order to best communicate the gospel message?) Discuss how you will craft your story to meet your friend where they are. (Are there any themes you may use to focus your presentation which would most speak to your friend according to their culture and worldview? What part of the story do you think they will relate to most based on what you know about their cultural systems and cultural value orientations?) Part 2, Section 3: Outline of Gods Story Prepare to share the Gospel by outlining the Story of God you would share. As we have discussed the Grand Narrative of scripture, we have covered many different topics and stories from the Bible, but there are some key elements which must be included in your story. Essential Elements: 1.Creation 2.Fall-Sin 3.Promise-Covenant 4.Prophecies 5.Virgin Birth 6.Incarnation 7.Deity (fully manfully God) 8.Jesus life (person and works) 9.Jesus Death 10.Resurrection 11.Ascension 12.Return 13.Reconciliation 14.Kingship You should outline how you would present the Story of God to your friend, making sure to address each of the 14 elements listed above. You should also list scripture references for each element that you present. While you do not need to recite the scripture as you tell the story, we want to see that you know where in the Bible to point someone to if the opportunity were to arise. In your outline, you should list enough content to show that you know what each element is about, how it connects to the bigger picture of the grand narrative, and the best way to share the story.
