How to understand people from different world views

2008-09-29T10:44:00.000-07:00

“Never try to figure out an Arab mind”, someone had said to Roland, but slowly figure it out he did, and astutely enough, to be able to teach it to a room full of eager listeners. His first proposition to us as messengers of the good news is how we have misunderstood the disease of sin. When we look at Genesis 3 where it talks about the consequence of sin, we often focus on the discipline that God meted out because of their disobedience. ”the snake was cursed to crawl in the dust on its belly, Adam will work by the sweat of his brow, Eve will experience sharpened pain in childbirth and they were banished from the Garden. But what we sometimes miss is the effect sin had on Adam and Eve.

Genesis 3:10, “I heard you in the garden and was afraid” (fear), Genesis 3:7 “At that moment their eyes were opened (guilt), and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness.” (shame). (New Living Translation)

Muller asserts that these three effects of sin form the basis of the three primary worldviews present in cultures today. What was interesting is that although all of us have a mixture of all three, generally one of the world views is predominant in any given culture.

“There is no such thing as a Biblical worldview, but the Bible does speak into my worldview”, Roland clarified, “because the Bible speaks to all worldviews.”

North American culture is obsessed with defining what is right/wrong And so their world view can be defined as guilt-based. Cultures with this world view have this paradigm expressed in different ways:

- Guilty vs innocence

- Right vs wrong

- Good guy vs bad guy

People in this culture are looking to avoid being wrong, or guilty. They desire someone to relieve them of their guilt, to pay their penalty, to justify them and bring them into right relationship with the authority. The book of Romans, which was written by Paul, a teacher of the law, proclaims the truth of justification by faith, which is a great message to anyone with a guilt-based world view.

Other cultures have a wold view that is more Fear-based. In this paradigm, the key issue is:

- Fear vs Power

People are looking for power over the things which make them afraid. Often these are things over which they feel they have little control: diseases, demons, curses. Many times they will turn to witch doctors, and seek supernatural forces for the power to overcome what they fear. Buddhism, Animism, Ancestral worship and Hinduism are some examples of fear-based religions. When speaking with people with a fear-based world view, they will be drawn to Jesus who performed many miraculous demonstrations of his power, culminating in his resurrection from the dead.

The third primary world view can be described as Shame-based. Cultures with this worldview likewise have a strong paradigm:

- Shame vs Honour

- Unapproved vs Approved

- Disrespect vs Respect

What is most important to people with this worldview is to keep their honor intact. Shame and honour can be attached to an individual, families, a nation, race or even religion. When dealing with a circumstance that brings shame, they may start by covering it up, then denying it and if it cannot be ignored or hidden, they might go so far as to take revenge on the person who has shamed them. Some might commit suicide, leave the family or country in order to regain honour or to find release from their shame. Islam is a religion that relates well to a shame-based world view. The portrayal of God as one who removes shame and restores honor, as in the story of the prodigal son, can give great hope to those with a shame-based world view.

Muller observed that world views within cultures are subject to change. He feels the North-American worldview is presently changing from guilt-based to shame-based. Take for example the typical school-aged child who desires to be “cool more than to do right. What they seek is approval, honour, and respect from others. Most North-American churches are still thinking and dealing exclusively from the perspective of a guilt-based world view which may be one reason why many Christians don’t quite know how to share the Gospel with people from shame and fear-based cultures, which dominate the 10-40 window.

Karl's 5 minute testimony

I was brought up in a half believing home; my mom was a believer and my dad was not. One night around the age of 7, before I fell asleep I asked Jesus into my life. I grew up getting to know the Lord for myself and he turned me into a cheerful and joyfully happy person. When I reached the end of middle school, I started to drift away from the Christian life. In my senior year of high school, I started experimenting with drugs and soon found one called crystal meth. It felt great being high but the good times were deceiving as it swiftly turned my life into misery. It got to the point that meth was no longer something to do just for fun; I needed it to survive. I realised my addiction was too big of a problem for me to deal with and that I needed help.

Remembering from what I had learned back in sunday school, I knew that I could turn to Jesus for help. He loved me even if I didn't love myself. I reasoned that if I belonged to Jesus, anything I had also belonged to him, including my drug addiction. I also thought that if it was true that Jesus could die on a cross and be raised back to life, then he could defeat this addiction that was killing me.

I asked Jesus to take it from me and deal with it for me, and gave him the two reasons why I thought he was able to help me. Suddenly I realized I was wrapped in chains and then I felt a great power come over me. The chains around me shattered like glass. Even though I felt free from the addiction to meth, the habit of doing it was still there. That night I still went out with my
friends and got high. Jesus, being the loving and powerful God that he is, worked in my life and in my heart, despite my own efforts against him. From that point on, getting high was no longer fun, and I slowly started hating meth. It took another 2 years before I had had enough and stopped getting high altogether. During that time, the Lord also brought back the joy of life and the cheerful, happy person I used to be. He reinstated me as a functional member of society and even sent me
back to school for horticulture (and i graduated at the top of my program last april). I now look forward to where this relationship with Jesus will take me.

Post-Creative Forum Summary
Prepared by Shirley Eu

Creative Forum
When: 21 March 2008 (Friday)
Where: Shirley’s home
Attended by: Bob & Leri Canlas (Filipinos), Sim Lumongsud (Filipino), Winnie Lui (Hong Kong), Bill Vaxevanis (Ethnic bkgd: Greek), Shar Dubas (Canadian) and Shirley Eu (Singaporean)

Key points we talked about:

1. What are some things we, as immigrants to Canada would like to know?
- Where to live, map of the area, public transportation, medical services, leisure, language courses, free stuff, $ saving tips, church, finding a bank, job search,
where to purchase groceries, where the library is, immigrant services, cultural
directory, associations/clubs, websites that are immigrant-helpful.

2. What can we do differently to “adopt” and help immigrants that isn’t done today?
- Be a coach. Help practically.

3. Some problems we face:
- Too many immigrants are coming, too few of us, need partnering with govt
before we have credibility, difficult to define criteria for how to help, how long
we would avail ourselves to help, unsure how to surface immigrants to help immigrants.

4. Working title: Immigrants helping immigrants
• We would be better off once more working with churches who have immigrants willing to help others from their own culture settle in rather than create a new non-profit/ non-religious organization looking to find government grant.
• Name card idea/ short leaflet with immigrant services to hand out to immigrants at the airport or to churches who can help put in the hands of the right people.
• Help connect immigrants by advertising for the World Café meeting once a month.

5. Interesting points we discussed:
- How can we reach the immigrant before they even leave their country?
- Could we put a kiosk at the airport to meet the immigrants?
- Create a website specific to connect immigrants to the help they need. Blogsite?
- How do we finance this without a government grant?
- Can we do this with a government grant?
- Our primary motivation is to help immigrants settle, help them belong and in the course of our friendship introduce them to Jesus Christ.

Action points:

1. We would like to investigate how immigrants are settling into Canada (those who have arrived the last 12 months).
2. We would like to assess how they’ve been helped/ how they haven’t been helped.
3. We would like to enquire how many immigrants in our churches would be keen to be immigrants-helping-immigrants?

Shirley will look into possibilities of obtaining a government grant.
Bob and Leri are considering designing an immigrant newsletter.
Sim is interviewing immigrants.

Humble Apologetics

2008-02-13T09:57:00.001-08:00

How many of us are afraid of offending other cultures or other faiths with the Good News of the Gospel? John G Stackhouse has written a book called Humble Apologetics that talk more about assisting one's neighbour to an encounter with Jesus rather than winning a religious argument. We've always had a defence for the Gospel but not always the spirit of loving the person one step closer to Jesus. Have you ever asked your non-Christian friends what they think of Christians?

Open Homes Open Hearts this Christmas!

2007-10-28T21:15:00.000-07:00

Would you like to throw a party to introduce your intercultural friends to Jesus Christ?

Would you trust God to use your party to give them something more than just a meal?

For this Christmas, you can tell the Christmas story retelling the first Christmas in our Christmas drama play written by Nikki White. Or consider simply bringing them into your home and sharing a meal with them and telling them the story of the Christmas tree. How about sharing what the Visa to Heaven looks like? There are many resources on this blog that will give you new ideas. Or maybe you might have an idea you would like to share? Put your comments on the blog and get your friends on your team to share the true meaning of Jesus' birth.

If you wish to purchase a Party Hints packet, where everything you need for a successful intercultural party is all inside, do drop us a comment or call Intercultural Network Canada at 604-514-2015.

IMPORTANT! The partnership event for this Friday, 25 May 2007 has been postponed till 22 October 2007.

For a highly mobile society like the ones we live in, we are faced with the constant influx of immigrants to Canada. Never before has the world reached a greater movement of people as we are experiencing in this century. But there's another movement taking place. It's the movement of His Spirit. You are cordially invited to come and hear about this movement among ethnic leaders, the people they have impacted and the changed lives stories they are encountering.

Dorothy's 60th Birthday Party

2007-05-14T00:34:00.000-07:00

Most people don't think of having a birthday party just so they can tell their loved ones about God. But Dorothy did. When she heard a friend of hers talk about having a wedding and bringing Jesus to that occasion, she was inspired to do the same. Here is what Dorothy shared at her 60th birthday party.

I want to thank everyone for coming tonight to celebrate with me. Our family looks for any excuse to party and I thought this would be a great time to get together with my family and friends. We are all so busy, we don’t get a lot of time to visit with one another.

You may think this evening is all about me, but it is also about you and your relationship to me. I appreciate all of you and am grateful for who you are and what you mean to me. Every one of you are unique and have impacted my life in many different ways, from when I was born, when I was a little girl, in my teenage years, in my married life, in my life as a single mom and now as a single grandma raising 2 of my grandchildren.

60 years ago I was born into a family that already had 2 little boys, Ivan and Keith. After me came Earl, John, Christina, Bonnie, Walter, Shelly and Cheryl. My family is special to me and I love them all.

When I was 5 years old, my parents sent my brothers and I to Sunday School. It was there that I learned about God and I decided that I wanted God to be in my life. He put some desires in my heart. One desire was to go to Africa to be a missionary. That desire was fulfilled, as you saw on the screen, the picture of me in Africa on a mission’s trip.

It has not been an easy life because in life good things happen and bad things happen, but God gives us love through it all. Even when we make mistakes, God gives us grace and mercy and love. God loves me and I love you.

I would like to read God’s letter to us. It is called “My Child”. It basically says God knows all about you and he is there for you and will always be your Father. The question is, “Will you be his child?”

Then I started my presentations of heart shaped boxes of chocolates. I said:

“I would like to honour two ladies here tonight. My auntie Mary, who is my mom’s sister and auntie Jean, my mom’s sister-in-law. They new me when I was born. I want to thank you for being so nice and kind and a good example to me with being women of integrity. I love you and here is a piece of my heart.” (I handed them the chocolates). (Then I went on to say) “I love my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, they are special to me.” (I called each one up and gave them a hug and gave them a heart shaped box of chocolates and told them) “I love you and here is a piece of my heart.” (Then I repeated the same thing to my children and each of my grandchildren.--Gave them hugs and told them I love them and handed them a box of chocolates. And then, I told my guests that) “I have a kiss for each of you.” (I gave 5 of my little granddaughters little red plush purses filled with Hershey Kisses and sent them to the tables to hand the kisses out to my family and friends.)

One of the best way to share Jesus with our families and friends is through an occasion like a birthday celebration. You might find it just as memorable and surprisingly affirming for both your guests and yourself.

For those of you who are immigrants and have come to Canada, you must have applied to Canadian Immigration in order to have the right to land as a PR (Permanent Resident) in this country.

God's letter to a woman

2007-01-11T14:40:00.001-08:00

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being
When I created man, I formed him and breath life into his nostrils.
But you woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man
because your nostrils are too delicate.
I allowed a deep sleep to to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, I fashioned you
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him,
as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone I shaped you, I modeled you
I created you perfectly and beautifully.
Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart
His heart is the centre of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The ribcage will allow itsellf to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the ribcage supports the body.

You were not taken from his feet, to be under him,
nor were you taken for his head, to be above him.
You were taken from his side, to stand by him and to be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel...you are my beautiful little girl.
You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence,
and My eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.
Your eyes... don't change them .
Your lips, how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose, so perfect in form.
Your hands so gentle to touch.
I've carresed your face in your deepest sleep.
I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breaths, you are most like me.
Adam walked with Me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.
He could not see Me or touch Me. He could only feel Me.
So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you;
My holiness, My strength, My purity, My love, My protection and support.
You are special because you are an extension of me.

Man represent my image, woman my emotions.
Together, you represent the totality of God.

So man...treat woman well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile.
In hurting her, you hurt Me.
What you do to her, you do to Me.
In crushing her, you only damage your own heart;
the heart of your Father and the heart of her Father.

Woman, support man.
In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you.
In gentle quiteness, show your strength.
In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.
Did you not know that women are special in God's eyes?

Happy Birthday Mahes!

Party Hints in a home

2006-12-05T00:05:00.000-08:00

Party Hints continue to be played out in a home setting as Shirley Eu threw a party for 21 people to encourage parties for interculturals in Surrey. There were people from India, Pakistan, Korea, Mexico, Iran, Cyprus, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Singapore and of course, Canada! Using the Party Hints kit, we shared the Christmas story using the cleverly written script by Nikki White which involved most everyone in bringing alive the Christ of Christmas!

Sheeps bleating!
Okay, one laughing...

As you can see, whether you play an angel appearing to shepherds, or Kings bringing gifts, cows, sheeps, inn keeper, a very enthusiastic North Star, Mary and Joseph, or the drummer boy, the story crosses cultures to where inviting Jesus into one's heart becomes a real one.
