The purpose of this paper is to provide a different concept and understanding of diverse cultures so that missionaries can overcome cultural barriers and effectively share the gospel. The researcher has narrowed the boundary to Mexican and South African Zulu cultures. The main focus was to provide helpful contextualization insights utilizing the concept of family for both Mexican and Zulu cultures so that missionaries are aided in the process of sharing the gospel. The characteristic of Mexican culture regarding family lies in the concept of compadrazgo (godfather) which goes beyond the boundary of blood-ties. African culture relies on a tribal system which carries the opposite meaning of compadrazgo. The Bible assumes that the family system was a part of God’s creation. In Galatians, “children of Abraham” was used metaphorically rather than biologically. It is limited to understanding the Biblical family system with compadrazgo (client-patron) or a tribal system (blood). However, applying compadrazgo to a tribal culture is expected to aid the African natives' understanding of the redemptive work of Christ. Also, bridging the African understanding of family is an aid to overcome the potential of minimizing the roles of the traditional family. |
