GOSPEL COMMUNICATION PROJECT: CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH
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.
INSTRUCTIONS
Use the provided worksheet to complete your cultural intelligence research assignment. You
will:
1. Identify a country to research and the cultural cluster it belongs to. Choose a country that
is ethnolinguistically different than your own culture.
2. Discuss CQ Drive by identifying your motivations for sharing the gospel and the ways
CQ can help you to be effective in communication.
3. Discuss CQ Knowledge by identifying 2 cultural systems, 3 cultural value orientations,
and 2 socio-linguistic characteristics, and sharing how these elements of culture might
affect someone’s understanding of the gospel.
4. Support your writing with adequate research from a variety of sources. Each box that
asks for an outside source should include at least 1 citation, and the works cited box at the
bottom of the template should list all sources used in the assignment (at least 3).

their culture. Complete this worksheet by writing your answers in the white boxes. Note that the
white boxes will expand as you type in them. You should write in complete sentences and use
proper English grammar, spelling, and language mechanics. Be sure to fulfill all listed word
count and citation requirements. Citations should be integrated into your writing as supporting
