In Cross-Cultural Servanthood, Duane Elmer tells the parable of a monkey who sees a fish swimming against the current of a stream (pp. 27-28). Assuming the fish is struggling to survive, the monkey plucks the fish out of the stream and places it on dry ground. At first, the fish flops around--excited to have been saved, the monkey thinks. When the fish stops moving, the monkey feels satisfied, believing the fish is resting contentedly. Of course, the fish is dead.In cross-cultural exchanges, we intend to serve others, but our efforts may be perceived as exercises of arrogant power. The remedy is Christlike humility. "Humility is mandated," Elmer writes, "but"--and this exception is crucial--"its expression is culturally defined" (p. 33). We must both intend to be humble, in other words, and act in ways that people from other cultures perceive as humble.How do we do this? Cross-Cultural Servanthood examines "the process of becoming a cross-cultural servant" (p. 19). Elmer outlines this process with six steps:1. Openness: "the ability to welcome people into your presence and make them feel safe" (p. 39, emphasis in original).2. Acceptance: "the ability to communicate value, worth and esteem to another person" (p. 58)3. Trust: "the ability to build confidence in a relationship so that both parties believe the other will not intentionally hurt them but will act in their best interest" (p. 77).4. Learning: "the ability to glean relevant information about, from and with other people" (p. 93).5. Understanding: "the ability to see patterns of behavior and values that reveal the integrity of a people" (p. 125).6. Serving: "the ability to relate to people in such a way that their dignity as human beings is affirmed and they are more empowered to live God-glorifying lives" (p. 146).Elmer is G. W. Aldeen Professor of International Studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. His book is clear and simply written, mixing theological and sociological analysis in balanced measure, and using illustrations from his life and career, as well as from the lives and careers of others.I highly recommend this book to Christian missionaries, pastors, and laypeople who work in cross-cultural or multi-cultural settings. It will help them understand how to better communicate the gospel in word and deed. It will also help them examine their own motives to make sure they are serving rather than patronizing others.
I read this book in preparation for a trip to Myanmar in December. It provides excellent perspective on how to approach missionary work--both long and short term--in a manner that respects the dignity, assets, and culture of the host community. Using research and stories of personal experience, the author humbly and gently asks us to shift our perspective of poverty, to develop methods of helping that involve the local people, and to work alongside them as equals to find and implement solutions. Although it is written with foreign development work in mind, I found myself wishing I could buy a copy for every political candidate this election year. The ideas and methods espoused in this book are proving themselves in the development field, but would be just as beneficial in approaching problems in our own country.
Duane Elmer has written this book to help Christian missionaries to serve more in effectively and fruitfully among the people to which they have been sent to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in the culture in which they find themselves. However, his insights can be applied fruitfully in any church setting, locally or 'internationally' because every relationship is more or less cross cultural, as the illustrations the author uses clearly show.A thorough study and application of the material of Part Three of the book will benefit anyone who serves in any capacity in the church of God.It will actually benefit anyone wants to build good and fruitful relationships, though a relationship will only be truly fruitful if the other party is also open to and willing to work toward a good relationship.Highly recommended.
This is required reading for Liberty Theological Seminary. At first, I expected a book that I could rush through and conduct my assignments, as I am not called to foreign missions. But, my preconceived notions severely underestimated the book's usefulness.So many of the points of this book affected me, as I also see how the concepts can be useful not only in the foreign mission field, but in the local church and individual interactions.The book is arranged into three segments.Part I - Basic perspectives of servanthood. The key here is whether one chooses the towel or the robe. The Sons of Thunder (the apostles James and John) asked Jesus if they could sit at His right and left hand in the Kingdom. They sought after the robe of power and prestige through their ministry. Jesus taught the towel, as He showed His disciples when He washed their feet. The key is to cast off any hint of superiority on the part of the servant. The missionary and the people must foster a co-equal relationship to be effective.Part II - There is a process to effective servanthood. Quickly, the process is Openness, Acceptance, Trust, Learning, Understanding and Serving. One must be open to the new culture and welcome the change that is about to envelop you. And through openness, accept others by communicating to them that you value them and show them respect. Trust is built slowly with small acts of acceptance showing that you have their best interest in mind. Through trust, you can begin to learn from others as they open up to you. Undertanding of a culture occurs over a period of time listening to others and learning from them. Finally, once one understands a culture, they can serve effectively without offending or making the people in need feel below the stature of those helping.Part III - there are several challenges to servanthood. Leadership cannot be forceful, but must be servantile in nature. The power one wields to help others must not be swung like a hammer, but infused into the situation unnoticeable. And the book closes with applying the process steps to the story of Joseph of Genesis.The book is not a book filled with fluff on how to be a good servant. Instead, the book really engaged me on how to better build relationships.I highly recommend this book for anyone desiring to better reflect Christ in our daily ministry situations called 'life.' While the book is truly beneficial to serving in foreign missions, any culture we encounter today is truly cross-cultural; and therefore, needing the application of the biblical concepts of this book.
