Abstract

We live in an era when the world has been dubbed 'a global village.' This presents a tremendous challenge and opportunity for the church in general, and for the African-American and Hispanic church in the Washington Metropolitan context in particular, to be involved in cross-cultural evangelism. This project presupposes that cross-cultural evangelism will enhance positive social interaction between the two communities while highlighting the universality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission is our mandate to evangelize cross-culturally. In doing so it will challenge social and political structures that create and tolerate poverty, civil strife, racism, sexism, and nationalistic egoism. The research model was in the form of a case study and survey. A questionnaire was disseminated to two local congregations in the Washington, DC area, one Hispanic and one African-American. The resulting data was analyzed to identify the present attitudes of both groups. There is some evidence of favorable attitudes from both groups toward an African-American cross-cultural evangelistic ministry to the Hispanic community.
