The project was based on the assumption that Christians face barriers in the communication of the gospel to internationals. These barriers which are real and psychological include culture, language, religion, ethnicity, and fear, among others. The project was conducted over a period of 16 weeks and was designed so that participants would have 8 weeks of experiential learning. Twenty-one learning sessions were conducted with 9 participants. This writer confirmed his belief that Christians need to be trained to witness effectively to internationals. He also gained insight into how participantsovercame barriers in communicating the gospel to people of other cultures. More specifically, however, this writer was able to appraise the dynamic relationships among culture, language, religion, and ethnicity in witnessing encounters. Understanding the cultural context is foundational for witnessing. Learning the basic beliefs of Asian religions is essential in witnessing to their followers. Learning phrases or words in the international's language is instrumental in overcoming barriers in witnessing.
