The single most important concept for developing understanding in intercultural interactions may well be the distinction between individualism and collectivism. This project is unique in evaluating the relationship of individualist and collectivist values and spiritual growth among university students in Navigator ministries. Does either collectivist or individualist cultural orientation predict spiritual growth? Conversely, how does spiritual growth predict cultural orientation' do Christ-followers become more collectivist as they obey biblical 'one another' commands? Some of the surprising research results may be attributed to demographic characteristics and the rapidly changing behavioral level of university students around the world. Among other data, my research indicated that the presence of strong collectivist traits (placing high value on the opinions of immediate and extended family and friends) predicts growth in Godward disciplines.
