Introduction
The Great Commission outlined in (Mathew 28:18:20) mandates that all Christians must go into the world and share the gospel message with all tribes, kindreds, nations of people great and small. Although the world has become smaller through Science Technology (IT) internet and
advanced roads and transportation systems, the diversity within multiethnic communities has created barriers to intercultural communication. Christians who participate in missionary work must be of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Culturally Competent to be effective in ethnic and global communications.
“
CQ Knowledge begins with understanding culture’s role in people’s thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. It’s a matter of discerning what’s universal to all human
s, what’s attributable to specific cultures, and what’s idiosyncratic to individuals. Then we need to understand the role of language in culture and gain a basic grasp of the systems developed by cultures to deal with economics, family, education, legal issues, religion, and artistic expression.”

The paper will evaluate the results of my personal CQ Feedback report to provide detailed information regarding my strengths and weaknesses for the purpose of developing an action plan to grow and
function effectively in multicultural settings. This will prove beneficial as I gain knowledge and feedback on how to spread the gospel effectively among the nations
Summary
In analyzing the results of my personal cultural intelligence report, I have certain strengths and weaknesses within (4) CQ capabilities which consist of the following: (1) ‘
CQ Drive
which pertains to my
level of interest, tenacity, and conviction throughout multicultural interactions. (2)
CQ Knowledge
is the comprehension and mastery of how ethnic cultures are familiar and contrasting. (3)
CQ Action
the capacity to adjust and be versatile in a multicultural 1

environment. (4)
CQ Strategy is my ability to design, maneuver, and develop different approaches as circumstances arise intercultural interactions.’ These capabilities are scored on a grading system from low, to medium, too high for each category.
Evaluation
The review of my CQ Report leaves me with areas that need improvement and much to be desired. I have strength in some areas of CQ but need to grow and develop in others. Honestly, I was expecting a much higher score in the area of knowledge as I grew up in the New York City metropolitan areas where I intermingled with multiethnic groups and experienced diversity from all walks of life. The earliest Christians missionaries I encountered were people from a multicultural background. One of the first churches I attended had instructors and believers from diverse ethnicities and geographic locations. I lived in several different countries like Korea and Germany, and I have done missionary work in the Dominican Republic and Mexico. God has used individuals from Asian, European, African, and Hispanic cultures to help shape my spiritual foundation.
CQ Knowledge
I started my self – assessment with CQ Knowledge as the Scripture tells us to get knowledge and to get understanding (Pro. 4:5-9). CQ Knowledge are “Individuals with high CQ Knowledge have a rich, well-organized understanding of culture and how it affects the way people think and behave. They possess a repertoire of knowledge of how cultures are similar and
how they are different. They understand how culture shapes behavior.”
2
According to the CQ Feedback report I scored 20 % which is Low and falls under the 25 percent of the worldwide normalcy range. I contend that I score considerable low, and this is an area that definitely needs in improvement.
CQ Drive

CQ Drive is the next CQ
capability evaluation and score.
“Individuals with high CQ Drive are motivated to learn and adapt to new and diverse cultural settings. Their confidence in their adaptive abilities influence the way they perform in multicultural situations.”
3
This score is
a little deflating, but also a mixed bag for me. Although I have a thirst for knowledge that is contagious, I do lack motivation in the area of the study of culture especially in the arena of language. Although my wife is bilingual, and I know many words in Spanish I have not put forth
the effort to master the language. I do use the translator, but I do not study the language with efficiency. I also have access to the Duolingo Spanish tutorial app, but seldom use it and miss many lessons. In the field of adaptation and being pliable to diverse cultures my semblance is that of a chameleon and loquaciousness.
According to my CQ report I scored in the Low 8 % percentile in this domain specifically
in the operation of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Interests. However, I do receive satisfaction and gratification gaining knowledge and understanding from culturally diversified experiences. Still, there may be room for improvement in the arena of Self-Efficacy and I need to gain more knowledge and experience to successfully navigate the vicissitudes of intercultural communication. Although my character profile would indicate that I am flexible, an extreme extrovert, witty, with good humor, it would prove beneficial IF I was more focused and vested in
learning more about other cultural idiosyncrasies. “CQ Drive rests in something bigger than us. The challenge for us as leaders is to see our existence not only in terms of our own interests but ultimately about things larger than us. If more, power, wealth, and success are all that drives us, we’ll burn out pretty fast…we can take our role in the big picture and find ourselves with heightened energy for persevering through the hard work of cross-cultural leadership.”

Corresponding to my CQ Feedback report I performed the best in this category. CQ Strategy allows me to be well informed about what is necessary for me to know about foreign culture. “Leaders with high CQ Strategy develop ways to use their cultural understanding to develop plans for intercultural situations. These leaders are better able to monitor, analyze, and adjust their assumptions and behaviors in different cultural settings.”
5
I received an overall score of (76 %) in this domain. According to the CQ Report grading system Moderate scores in this range are in the middle 50% of worldview norms while High scores are in top 25% of the worldview norms. I score 95% for awareness and 89% for checking which are my highest scores. In addition, I scored within the 45 % percentile for planning which means I have the ability to plan ahead, check my assumptions while communicating with diverse populations and adjust my mental maps to traverse challenging situations.
CQ Action
CQ Action is the final category that was assessed. “CQ Action is the extent to which you act appropriately in multicultural situations. It includes your flexibility in verbal and nonverbal behaviors and your ability to adapt to different cultural norms.”
6
I think I am moderately successful in this category. The highest score I received within this domain was (51%) for verbal communication. I scored in the 34% percentile for non-verbal which is between Low and Moderate. Final grades I scored was 18% for Speech Acts with an overall CQ report score of 34% for this category. There are obvious areas that need improvement the numbers speak for themselves.

internet and the advancements in technology, communications, and transportation. I have been working for an 5

Christian agency that empowers and helps to bring stability to troubled children and families. Throughout our many years of training, we have been encouraged to tell the family that it is important to God in our life as God gives us knowledge, direction, and strength. In carrying out my local assignment and Christian duties I worked with the Church in sharing God’s love and message in an intercultural setting.
There is a certain family I was working with in which the grandparents had custody of the
children. They were granted custody of the children by the Family Court system as both parents were struggling with drug addiction, domestic violence, and incest. In continuing to learn the work of a Pastor and working with families inside their home. I would visit the home of these Peruvian immigrants who were the grandparent of the children and who had a strong adherence to the Catholic faith. The grandfather did not speak English but spoke a Peruvian dialect of Spanish. The biological mother who was Americanized struggled with addiction and also lived in
the home. The culture shock I experienced when entering the home was a veneration of the saints and statues of the Virgin Mary as there were a plethora of statues all over the house. The grandmother pointed to the statues of the Virgin Mary and stated that she was the mother of God.
I also noticed a giant shrine with statues of the saints and many pictures of a blond haired blued eyed Jesus and similar depictions, busts images, and relics similar to the Sallman Head of Christ which I learned had been reproduced over half billion times around the world. The family
would bow to the statue of the virgin Mary, and the bust of Sallman Head of Christ with rosary beads in hand. Although they said they needed a priest for absolution they cried to the statues and painting hanging on the wall for healing, and deliverance.
This family was going to be a great challenge in presenting the gospel truth to, as although technically speaking Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination their culture, language, and doctrine is different and would prove difficult in presenting the truth in love. Who
am I to say that Christians Evangelists, which is a part of the Protestant doctrine, have a more accurate understanding then centuries of Catholic doctrine and tradition? The CQ Feedback 5
report indicated that I scored in the Low 8% in motivation to adapt to new and different cultural settings.
However, not realizing it at the time I was using CQ strategy which my CQ Feedback report indicated I scored high. I am better at monitoring and analyzing as to develop a plan to witness the truth in an intercultural setting, the plan is to find common ground within our faith and understand how culture can impact our belief. I emphasized Jesus Christ the Son of God as the model and common ground for our religious belief. “The reason why this “Jesus, Bible, Theological and Culture” model is so important is because we need to recognize how prevalent culture is in our lives. And we need to be realistic about cultural embeddedness of our Christianity. Practically speaking, for better or for worse, all of us are affected by our heritage culture; and the is greatly affects how we follow Christ. Again, as long as we are in this world, we can’t interact with Jesus without engaging in the cultural behaviors around us.”

Christian Evangelist must be efficient in intercultural intelligence and culturally competent to successfully communicate the truth of the gospel. It’s paramount to know the mores, norms, idiosyncrasy within a given culture. “Cultural intelligence is the capability to function effectively across national, ethnic and organizational cultures. It can be learned by most anyone. Cultural intelligence offers leaders and overall repertoire and perspective that can be applied to myriad cultural situations.” 8
Specifically in sharing the Good News in different culture settings. I am the last person to cast aspersions on any person Christian belief systems, however, it important that we promote sound doctrine. In Christianity sound doctrine is 7

important as the tenet of our belief is based on faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross not by works nor by any other name that can save us. This is clearly stated in (1 Cor. 15:3), for I delivered to you as the first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in the accordance with the Scriptures. Also, mention in Ephesians 1:13 the word of truth, and gospel of your salvation is belief in him…This Scriptures along with deep prayer was presented to the family.
In an attempt to find a common ground in our theological discourse and doctrine I mentioned that the Roman Catholic Church in times past has collaborated with Protestant Churches to form an organization called Evangelicals Catholics Together (ECT). These groups sign a common declaration of doctrinal belief.
The profession of faith is that those that believe in Christ are one, so our beliefs and Christian mission should be one as Christ’s disciples. “Moreover, the signer hope together (1) that all people will come to faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior”, (2) the church lives by the Great Commission; (3) unity and love among Christians is an integral part of our missionary witness to the Lord whom we serve,”(4) “as Evangelicals and Catholics, we pray that our unity in the love of Christ will become ever more evident as a sign to the world of God’s reconciling power, etc.”

The blessing in engaging this family is that they were open-minded and although there were initial hostilities, we were able to find common ground. One aspect of our conversation that
made the encounter fruitful were both parties were not afraid to speak up and share their beliefs. “Debate has flourished about which of the wounds inflicted on Jesus actually caused his death. Among the many wounds he received were lacerations, punctures, abrasion, and contusions. In a sense we can say that none of these killed Jesus. The wound that killed him was silence. No one 9

spoke up for him.” 10
It is important in intercultural communication that we adapt to other people’s culture without hindering the truth of God’s Word.
Within the family the daughter was accepting to having a personal relationship with Jesus
without a mediator or relics and sacraments. I was able to find common ground with the grandparents as Christ being God incarnated and that he died for our sins on the cross, however, their veneration of the Virgin Mary and the Saints remained deeply embedded in their faith. However, I still was successful in presenting the truth of the Gospel and was able to Share Jesus without Fear.
The Great Commission
After Jesus’s resurrection he informed his disciples that all authority in heaven and earth was under his command. Christ commissioned his disciple in (Mat. 28:18-20) to ‘therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.’ The term ‘Great Commission’ is not the terminology of the Bible, however Christian scholars have used this term
to describe the magnificent assignment Jesus has given us to make disciples of all nations. This command transcends dispensational and national boundaries. Jesus’s commission was not just to
the nation of Israel, but Christ authority has been extended throughout the Earth. “After asserting
this authority, Jesus tells his disciples to make disciples. Grammatically, this is the one imperative verb in the original Greek: make disciples. And that command is surrounded by three participles, so that we could translate the verbal phrases like this: Going, make disciples, baptizing and teaching.”

In being consistent with Bible doctrine we are required to fulfil this global mandate by propagating the gospel ‘across ethnic, linguistic, racial, social, economic, political, and cultural barriers. It’s pivotal that we use CQ strategies and ‘recognize our own prejudice, fears and stereotypes to transcend the barriers that limit intercultural communication.’
12
According to Dever, when we study books on the ‘Great Commission,’ they are often centered on evangelism or missions which emphasize what Christian do individually. Many disciples of Jesus Christ share and teach the gospel using travel packets and gospel tracks on an individual level, and most
certainly the Great Commission cannot be fulfilled without personal evangelism “But is that all there is to the Great Commission? ---the Great Commission is normally fulfilled through planting and growing local churches. Churches fulfill the Great Commission through planting more churches. So, the Great Commission involves you, the individual Christian. But the Great Commission also involves you through your local church.”
13
The planting of a new church ministry is very common throughout my Christian journey as being a part of New Jerusalem Family Church we had a headquarters located in the suburban area but decided to expand the church within an inner-city community. I noticed immediately that ministry in the Urban community can be quite different to the suburbs. “Urban-center people
are ironic and suspicious of authority and institutions (especially those that are religious) …
Leadership must take great pains to be open, not to hide information or be political…we need to admit that faith and religion can be used to oppress people and show that the gospel is the strongest critique of ‘religion,’ but also challenge relentless cynicism. Deconstruct deconstructionism.”

Although the new church building was only on the other side of the township it was like descending into a different world. This particular side of the city had a very large Black Muslim and Nation of Islam population. The atmosphere was different it was like a giant dark cloud hovering over this area of the city; at certain times of the day, you could hear a loud noise that sounded like a horn coming from the mosque’s loudspeaker I learned that this was a Call to Prayer for Muslims. The atmosphere appeared to be tense and threatening and at times I must admit I was a little scared of some of the people. This was a high crime area known to be dangerous from the result of violent robberies and shootings. This area of the city was very poor
with high employment and urban plight. In addition, the form of dress was highly different as the man in the Nation of Islam wore suits and blow ties. They sold a newspaper called Muhammad Speaks and sold bean pies. The stores were different and many of them had the brand name and products called Halal. The Concession Stand were forbidden to sell pork, I learned that Halal meat products such as lamb, beef and chicken could be eaten by those observing Islamic teachings as long as they offered it up to Allah in prayer. The outdoor stands also sold black soap, oils, and incense. These Muslims men were dressed in a long rope called a thobe and had a kufi (skull caps) or turbans covering their heads; the women were dressed in black with a hijab (head covering) and scarf covering their face. Their religion appeared to be connected to their economic, social, and political struggles. A good number of men converted to the Muslim faith while serving time in jail or prison. Most of them appeared to be well-groom, intelligent, articulate, highly educated and apart of community projects to bring about economic and social change.
In my attempts to fulfil the ‘Great Commission’ I would travel throughout the neighborhood signaling for people to come to Jesus and I would hand out pamphlets of information regarding the Christian faith. The objective was to teach the gospel truth to the people and invite them to the church. This was very challenging as most of the people in the 10

community are Muslims. However, I was determined, and I did not allow a person’s Islamic belief keep me from telling them about Jesus. However, I learned from my own Christian upbringing to respect all people and all religions regardless of their beliefs or if they agreed with my own lifestyle or doctrine of faith. However, I had to remind myself to be open minded, not to
judge or ‘give into stereotypes and my own ethnocentrism as it would be a barrier to intercultural
communication. It is not productive to identify people as us against them or give into rumors or preconceived notions. The gospel calls for us to be united across cultural boundaries and not to give into our own prejudices. It’s important to be able to engage other people from different cultures so that we are able to communicate cross culturally.’
15
Throughout my encounters of walking and talking to the people within this Muslim community most of them were polite and willing to listen to my message and share what they believed. I agreed with some of the social reforms that needed to take place to transform the community, but in my attempts at utilizing CQ strategies we could not find common ground in regard to Jesus. There were times when these debates about Jesus became contentious. I spoke with many people and most of the doctrinal disputes were in regard to the deity of (Yahshua). “Most Christian workers among Muslims attest that the opportunities for Christian-Muslim engagement has reached the apex of opportunity…Reaching Muslims has always been a challenging mission task…Although signs of a breakthrough are clearly visible, the risks are real: mentioning specifics of how evangelism works can be risky because…the Islamic penalty for “apostasy” is death.”

means ‘one who submits himself to God.’ He also told me that God never had a son, and that Jesus was not the Son of God as God has no son. I explained to him that Adam was God’s first created Son, and Jacob who became Israel was God’s, first, born again Son, meaning his life had been changed by God, but Jesus was God the Father’s only begotten Son meaning Jesus was the exact essence of God himself, and the supreme example of God’s nature manifested in humanity.
The Spirit or Seed of God procreated the Son being born into a human body as God taking on human form. I spoke to another Muslim gentleman in the marketplace and listened as he explained to me that Islam acknowledges Jesus as a great prophet who performed miracles similar to Moses, but he was only a man and that he never died on the cross. I explained to him that if Christ never
died on the cross for our sins, then our faith is in vain, and I explained to him how Jesus was more then a man. In a very inquisitory tone, the Muslim ask how I can be sure what the Scriptures says about Jesus is true. I read to him (1 John 5:10) that those that believe in the Son of God have the witness in themselves, and how God’s Spirit bears witness with our spirit as we cry ‘Abba’ Father (Rom. 8:15-17), I also told him that you must be born again of the Spirit. I told him once you are born again of the Spirit you can feel God’s presence the same way you can
feel the wind blow, and that the Holy Spirit will confirm what is spoken through his word and will open his understanding and teach him all things. I also encounter a Muslim woman who said she will never bow down and worship a man and that there is no J in the Hebrew alphabet, and that Jesus was only a man and not God. I explained to the Muslim woman that those that call upon the name of the Lord will be saved (Rom. 10:13). I also explained to her the Jesus was conceived by the virgin Mary through the power of the Spirit of God, making Jesus’ 100 percent God and 100% percent man (Luke 1:26-
38). I did not make much progress in winning champion for Christ considering, “intercultural conflict often starts with different expectations concerning appropriate or inappropriate conflict behavior in an interaction scene…the different cultural members continue to engage in rigid or 12
ineffective conflict styles, the miscommunication can easily spiral into a polarized conflict situation.”
17
Conclusion
God has given all believing Christians the Great Commission which is a command to preach the gospel message to all nations, teaching and baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Mat. 28:16-20) and teaching them to observe all the things Jesus has commanded them to do. Since, God had made the world very diverse will kinds of people with different cultures and languages it is necessary for us to be culturally intelligent and culturally competent. The church has been granted by God and the Holy Spirit different spiritual
gifts and teachers to help equip us with different tools and strategies for intercultural communication. Leaders in global mission work must develop CQ Drive, CQ knowledge, CQ Strategy and CQ Action to be effective in propagating the gospel in a multiethnic setting. Missionary leaders must be aware of their cultural surroundings to adequately intermingle with diverse population through contextualization, being willing to adapt, but never compromising the
truth of the gospel being ready to share with anyone willing to receive this precious gift of salvation.
